Day two hundred and seventy-nine: More experiments with watercolor. This time trying to recreate a series of mountains, with one tall snow-capped peak towering in the distance. I gave up on the puffy gray clouds I was trying to make, and deleted them altogether. I will probably continue playing with watercolor, but may need to practice some simpler pictures to master a few techniques. I’m still not satisfied with the brushes and settings in Corel, and as a result things don’t look the way I anticipated. This is as close to satisfactory as I could get this evening. It probably doesn’t help that I look at amazing watercolors at work everyday, but can quite translate what I’m seeing into my own paintings. I need a mountain of patience!
why?
