Black Gouche Hot Mess Watercolor

Ok, here’s what happened…I was watching a Noah’s Ark movie and it had a really neat effect. Everything was black with pops of color which is right up my alley. So I thought I’d try to simulate this in watercolor but as you can see, it’s a disaster. I didn’t even finish it. What a waste of masking fluid and gouche. 🙂 Filed in the “Hot Mess” category. 🙂

Cherry Blossoms Watercolor

Here’s my rendition of a cherry blossom. I’d like to paint them with more detail in the future. I was going for cheerful and sunny. To see my other stuff, go here.

Wisteria Watercolor

After buying a watercolor book (see previous post), I decided to try to paint a wisteria flower. After many attempts, this one was the best. As you can see, I lifted some paint out for light, did some negative painting, and painted the branch with a flat brush instead of the usual round. I’m almost getting there. haha 🙂

Watercolor Flowers Book

I may have bitten off more than I can chew. Look at this cover. Tell me this isn’t for an expert watercolorist! 🙂 But I’m ambitious and I’m into crashing and burning. haha.

I plan on doing an iris and wisteria – although not exactly like the photos – just the main elements of it – I’m not crazy – I know my limits! haha 🙂 Wish me luck! 🙂

Enchanted Forest Watercolor

I’ve painted this scene, or variations of it, a hundred times and they all look different. I kinda like this one so I’m putting it up. Don’t ask what the dots are – it’s just something I like to add in some of my pieces just because. 🙂 I enhanced the color digitally – the colors aren’t quite as saturated IRL. Hope you likey 🙂 As always comments/critiques are welcome. 🙂
