Linda is issuing the color challenge this week and it is a learning one. You can paint any image you wish but follow instructions in the tutorial for getting more depth to your paintings.
The tutorial is Improve Your Watercolor Paintings to Have More Depth and the artist is Nikki Hess.
I sketched and watercolored my pot and flowers and it was so much fun. Hope you will all join in and enjoy it with us.

If you hadn't torn the image, it would have been a lovely painting....but that tearing created dimension and texture and I absolutely love it. A favorite!

I am a sucker for terra cotta pots and geraniums, Brenda, and have you ever packed a punch with this one. You’ve captured all the old world charm that warms my heart to the core when I see this type of imagery, and the tearing of your panel suggests the chippy old whitewashed walls they can often be seen adorning. You’ve done that tutorial justice with the wonderful depth and richness you achieved as well, my friend.
