I have been traveling lately, not in a position where I can even work on watercolor, so here is last week's forest landscape bauble. I think I love Harriet deWinton's videos the most; so clear, so encouraging. I also used yesterday's sketch, which was perfect for me.
I traced a circle and pretty much followed her tutorial. I have been using some watercolors straight from the tube and it got a little out of hand....very dark but I like it. I managed to leave some room for the trees and I think this is the first time I've done trees where I like the result. I erased the pencil mark at the bottom but then decided I didn't like the lack of definition so added just a little graphite. I used metallic watercolors for some little dots of stars...there is a little purple in the watercolors besides the blue and Payne's gray. I don't think I have the blue she used so subbed another. I used a silver pen on the dark gray for some definition. My brain is fried so I couldn't manage a sentiment.
Thanks for the challenges and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy 2024. I'm traveling again for the next few days, feel like a nomad.
