These might grow on me. Water is harder to paint than sky.
This became ominous because the paper, regular Fluid, warped even when taped down and pooled the paint in swirls. Then, I couldn't get a hair from the brush off and ended up scratching the paper resulting in a dark blob in the reflection area. Reminder to me: do NOT use that paper for anything except drybrushing. 7x5"
The paper is Arches so-called "white" which is creamy yellow.
Always working on fixing the color to try to match the digital image to the real image. . . .
usually not 100% successful. . .
From a photo I took in Sept 2018 of Beverly Point on the east side of Lake Michigan. Large, 16x10"
This is in here because even though it doesn't show that the paper was white, I was able to mix a green that is almost like some of the tropical green water near Isla Mujeres. A clear green blue pale grey. This is for me to remember that I used cobalt turquoise and pthalo green to get this color.
Tired of working like normal with watercolor and paper I made a monotype of water, added some wc soluble pencil around the sun and a few in the waves at the bottom and two purple lines at the horizon. Strathmore Multi Media 400 paper, 7x8"
