Watercolour Matters
It poured with rain on and off all day yesterday, blustery showers, heavy downpours and little momentary spatters of rain. So the day was donated to play time. I think one of the things that always hampers me from experimenting is the thought of wasting materials. But how else are you going to learn? So I sat down in front of YouTube and watched some great watercolour demonstrations and then had a go. I'd like to say a big thank you to all those great artists who freely give their knowledge in demonstrations on YouTube and on forums across the internet. Bless you all!
Now I have no excuse but to add trees everywhere I go! I am hoping that the watercolour will also help with my oil painting tree nightmares!

I like the trees! Good idea to watch demonstrations on YouTube! Have a good Sunday!
Good to see you having fun with watercolour, Anita. I like the bottom one with the calligraphic strokes for the branches. Hope you're now a lot more comfortable with trees :)
luscious blends of colour :>)
Judy - lots of great tutorials out there - and all for free!
