I used to play with watercolor a bit--it is the most difficult and exciting thing to work with, because it obviously has a mind of its own and flows and changes. I was a very bad painter, but had fun, and that, for me, was worth it.<BR/>And I enjoyed Marly's interview with you, and your dim orchids below. So much vibrancy.jarvenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709417058741577802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19290845.post-1169183160347419332007-01-18T21:06:00.000-08:002007-01-18T21:06:00.000-08:00Watercolor is a challenging medium.

If you are of the "white-of-the-paper-is-all-the-white-you-got" school of thought (and I am), you get one chance at most of the major highlights of a painting. But man, it's such a thrill when you're "on" and things are happening the way you (sorta) intended and then you get those "happy accidents" - pools of irridescent color defining a shape in a way no software, camera, or other coloring implement can - those are the moments to paint for.<BR/><BR/>That said, nice work!!!<BR/><BR/>(nuts and bolts <I>will</I> be my very next painting, I swear) <BR/><BR/><BR/>MjMMjMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830144244063454303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19290845.post-1169146231179810732007-01-18T10:50:00.000-08:002007-01-18T10:50:00.000-08:00Looks good to me.

You can also did the pencils into water first and then draw.Ed Maskevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505691052584290449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19290845.post-1169128912651672092007-01-18T06:01:00.000-08:002007-01-18T06:01:00.000-08:00We can see the work going on and on.We can see the work going on and on.Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146536115015122849noreply@blogger.com
