It still doesn't look like much, but this is the way my watercolors appear to progress these days. Wouldn't it be great if one day I managed do get a good painting all in one day like real artists do? Oh well, I'm really not complaining because I do know I've gotten better at this particular medium, but I also hope that I won't stall here for the rest of my life.
Day three (below) is getting closer to the finish line, but clearly it isn't there yet. I worked on land and sky but didn't touch the water. My thought was that until I had the upper portion close to completed there wasn't much point in tackling the reflections. Besides, brown water is not easy.
Today the painting told me to stop trying to be cute; it's name is simply "Louisiana Bayou" - at least for the time being. It will let me know if and when that changes.
I think it's coming along very well. You do raise a good question - how DO you make brown water and then put a reflection in it?
