Watercolor Presents Part Three



Well I'm pleased with how these watercolors look here on the computer. But to be honest I feel like they are a little overworked. The biggest challenge with watercolors is keeping them fresh and simple. I think its time to call them done. What do you think?

Christmas Presents

So my hope with my new blog is to post regularly. My plan is to post at least twice a week (tentatively trying for Mondays and Thursdays). But tis the season to be quite busy, right? I was worried that I wouldn't be able to meet my "goal" (I know I said no more goals...). But, I just had a great idea. I would use my posts to show progress on two watercolors I am working on for my mom and dad. (Mums the word if you know Frank and Peggy). So the top one is for my mom who loves cats and books. And the bottom one is for my dad who loves outdoor adventures and recently took a hike to Breakneck Point overlooking the Hudson River. 
What we see here are drawings based on several images found online and then a first wash of watercolor. Next will come some layers of detail. Stay tuned.
