Watercolor - "Corkscrew"



I posted my drawing of this watercolor the other day and wanted to show the finished watercolor. I had fun with this one- no problems to fix or paint to lift in frustration. Just a nice, enjoyable painting day- hopefully that doesn't mean today won't go well....I am going to sit down and work on some Christmas card ideas. I used to paint my own cards, and it has been a while. I think, mainly, because I wait until almost Thanksgiving to get to it. I should be painting sandy snowmen in July. Hopefully, I will have a few cards started to show tomorrow.
Thanks for visiting!

  2. Ciao, Franz! Thank you so much! I am working lately with painting reflections- practice until it is easier- It is all about the shadows and especially highlights. Very fun also.
