Watercolors...

A few years ago I decided to take up watercolors.  After about two dozen book purchases, I finally found "Watercolor for the First Time", by Kory Fluckiger.

I think true artists are able to come up with ideas out of nowhere, but some of us need a lot more help.  This book was very good for me; the author literally broke down painting a picture into micro-steps that even I could decipher.

I decided today that I would post some of my work that I did using this wonderful book.  Please note, these are replicas of the author's works (albeit meager replicas) that he used as projects in the book.

Very nice paintings! I've never tried water colors before, I've only used oil paint. But this makes me want to try.
