Hi everyone, we are still in our Watercolor Mode - here is one that my Grandson did!  He doesn't want to do the same as everyone else, or the same colors so he did his own thing and I really like it.

 

My daughter and I decided to try painting some lilies.  One of her friends had posted this picture to Facebook and she really liked it so we decided to try it.

The first one is hers:

This one is mine:

I really like the softness she got with the colors and the highlights.  I wasn't happy with mine so I played with it a bit more and like it more now.  I didn't get a picture of the touched-up one but this gives you the idea.

We also did some ocean scenes.  I did the same one twice, using different colors in the water.  Which one do you like the best?

The first one was done in class and I was happy with it:

The next one was done at home while my grandson was trying one.  He wanted to use green for the water and it looked pretty interesting so I added some greens to my blue water and this is what I got:

I guess I didn't take a picture of the finished painting, I added color to the sails and put some seagulls in too.  But you can see the difference in the water.

What do you think?

 

Hi everyone,    well we've had a couple more watercolor classes.  We are learning all kinds of techniques.  Some I like, some I don't - LOL

Here is the latest painting we are working on - not done yet, still have to darken the sand area and work on the boat.  I do like how this one is turning out.

 

 

 

Now let me see if I can find the Gerber Daisies.   I like this one too!

 

One more that I am not really crazy about but will try it again to see if I can refine it a bit - another floral but this time a white flower with shadows.....  Hmmmm can't find that picture, will have to take another and post it later.
