Watercolor Wednesday Week 23

I missed last week due to a family vacation, but my first painting here was inspired by a photo I took.
PHOTO:


PAINTING:


This second one was done outside and it was windy!  So the paint kept drying faster than I was used to, plus my hair  was in my face and mosquitoes kept getting me.  Definitely more challenging to paint outside.  I think in the future I'll take a sketch and then come in to paint.

    Beautiful painting despite the challenges. You can always continue indoors once you get the piece started. The sun is usually my challenge when painting outdoors. It is often glaring on the paper. Sitting in the shade or an umbrella is my solution.

    Great paintings! You really captured the bute path well and the house on the water is super!

    I always take a photo of something I am painting outdoors just in case I can't finish. That's definitely helped me.

    Wonderful paintings - the top one will be a beautiful reminder of that time :)

    I had to laugh about your outside painting experience - I can relate. Sometimes it's good, other times... not so much! ha!

    These are gorgeous- what a treasure to remember your vacation with- you should definitely frame that one! But I must admit, the second is my favorite- definitely a place I'd like to see in real life- you've captured such a quality of serenity and peace here!
    Happy PPF!

    Wonderful paintings! Isn't it so sad that painting outside sounds like a good idea, but the reality isn't always quite the same as the fantasy.
