Hello,
So, it is Friday again and here I am with my itsy-bitsy water-colour paintings. As it is water colour is a tough medium for me so the idea of trying it at a mini level gave me a break through of sorts . I saw some tutorials on You tube and loved how it worked. I did not do what the tutorials taught (the sketch and all) however the hints and techniques proved to be helpful ( quite helpful actually !!).
It was a motivation in disguise as I did not have to create anything big, or have much detailing to to. It often happens that going for the big picture, things start to slow down and the fervour gets tossed out. So, here I am with the Mini's:
This was the first attempt and it came out fine. The sea and the hill worked out well but the light house and the houses made me want to stop.... Still, Some more strokes here and some colour there gave it some form. I am happy at the end.😁

The next one is a sketch idea I got From little's textbook. Put it on paper, let the colours and brush sway on the water and do what they do best. Improvement.😊😊
Oh! These were supposed to be Vignettes but the brush ans I are just getting to know each other so the actual fading away of the boundary is not achieved yet. We will definitely come through this someday.
So, Here was this week for you in water colour. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I had fun trying it.
Take Care, Stay safe.
Until next Post...

You made some lovely little pieces, keep going! I can't work small anymore, as I can't move my hands and fingers so well, and large is now my choice. Have a fun week, happy PPF! Valerie
ReplyDeleteGlad for the word of appreciation. Learning is a tough path and and rather than try some other thing this was a way to stick and learn more about this technique. 🙂
DeletePractice and practice this is how everything gets going when painting and ideas.
ReplyDeleteYou painted it great, I think these little pictures are so beautiful.
I wish you a good week!
Happy PPF, Elke
