Practice practice and more practice. Hopefully should be able to understand watercolors better in a few more months.

New book.

Watercolor on Brustro watercolor paper 5"*7"

I bought a new book ' The water-colourist's essential notebook - landscapes' by Gordon Mackenzie. Its a good book for anybody interested in watercolour and watercolour landscapes in particular. My first practice attempt from the book.

Sketching

The last few months have been very, very busy here.... too many things going on ..... leaving no time for painting or blogging.

watercolours, acrylics and micron pens on hand made paper.

But my little sketch book has kept me company all through and so have my new Sakura micron pens.  Sharing a few sketches here.

This old barn in between the various shades of green fields was a real challenge to paint. mixing so many greens from blue and yellow.. whew.. hats off to all the superb watercolorist out there.

Watercolor trials

Watercolors on watercolor paper

 Water color trials. Watercolors are tough, after getting used to Acrylics, trying to paint in watercolors is very very difficult. I have to practice a lot to achieve the kind of results that I am looking for.
