Description
Watercolor painting, 6"x9"While my primary art form is figurative clay sculpture, I have also always loved drawing the figure, either from life or from references. I've played around with watercolors (as I've posted here in a few instances), but never was able to get any real instruction in the technique (other than what I could just figure out by getting some paints and trying it).
One of the things about this time of social isolation and CoVID-19 is that it has given me time to deep dive into learning some new technical skills. I've had a DVD set from Great Courses for a while now, and finally dug it out and started following the lessons. It's been fun, and I have actually learned quite a lot from the examples. I've been able to combine my love for drawing the figure with some legit skills in watercolors. I have a LOOOOOONG way to go to catch up with some of the other watercolor artists here, but I've stepped onto the path...
This particular painting actually started out as an exercise in "wet-on-wet" watercolor technique, but then sort of took on a life of its own...
