Day Five : #30x30DirectWatercolor : Oooof!

June 5, 2020

Sometimes it just doesn’t work out.

This painting was soupy mush everywhere except for this little glint of light at the top.

Same problem as before – too much water, not enough pigment.

So I cropped it to the only part I like, and that’s all we’ll say about that ;)

    Thanks for this honest post. I have had some frustration with my painting this week. But as you said, look at the good parts and move on. Today is a new day. ☀️

    Heck, isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? Crop out those other parts!

    Still looks good to me. I have a tough time simplifying building details. The windows and roof lines look nice.
