“I keep painting the trees - I'm still learning how to see them; I'm still discovering how to render their forms. I will spend a lifetime doing that. Maybe someday I'll get it right.” ~ Alan Lee  I taught a watercolor class today and this was my demo (another version of day 1). Some of my students are having a hard time loving Yupo paper and the alcohol inks, so I usually do a wet-in-wet demo in watercolor on traditional watercolor paper for them. After painting in watercolor on cotton rag for over 40 years, I can usually pull it off, even though I'm a little rusty. See some of my other 30 paintings in 30 days in-progress shots, more about my techniques and thoughts about doing a series, later today, right here. Like I always say; "Repetition is the key to mastery.", so It is never time wasted, to redo and repaint something again. Someday, I'll Get It Right Original ID # A-3b-17 - Signed 10 x 8" Matted Watercolor on Arches 140lb Cold Press Paper  Since the above painting was not in alcohol ink, I added another for this day. Here is Day 4's official entry.

This is such a super piece Sandy. I understand how your students have a hard time liking Yupo as I do too. I prefer the look and the feel of watercolour and this one is great. Glad to see your work in the 30/30. Comments are closed.
