A New Love Affair With Watercolor

    I started my art journey with acrylic paint, then I got braver and used oil paint, and finally in the last year I have seriously tried watercolor. I paint at least once a week and sometimes my attempts are not so pleasant but occasionally I surprise myself. I love it. That's how I feel about the work below. 


                                        

                                       The season of Fall brings so many colors into focus. Blue and orange along side each are my favorite complimentary colors. I have an online watercolor teacher, Sarah Cray, who does the composition and often even provides the outlines which I can then trace onto watercolor paper. Is that cheating? Maybe someday I will have the skill to draw my own composition. 


   As Winter approaches I want to play around with some snow scenes even though we rarely have    snow here.
