APRIL Watermedia Challenge: Glass or Reflections

[KreativeK]

It is now April first and that's no April Fool's joke! Glass or reflections, reflective surfaces such as water, mirrors, lakes, etc., are the subjects for us this month. Here are several photo references to stimulate your Spring creative juices to flow

Hi Kay-I would like to join in this month. Those refs are beautiful and I love the theme. Are there any rules about when to upload or do you just dive in.

I was debating where to post this piece I did recently as it is watercolour pencil and have posted here before I believe. It is 9x12 on Fabriano hot press. It is not one of your photos but one I took in a church in Kauai. I don't really have a reflection as the glass is stained, but wanted to show the sunlight effects.
C&C. Thanks for looking



I will do another piece to add to your challenge this month it looks like fun.

Wow Suzanne, I've not seen this beauty! Definitely glass and so stunning.

[Natashya]

Suzanne - gorgeous! Makes me want to get to know my watercolour pencils better. Very inspiring!

[KreativeK]

Two more colored glass images I could not locate when Photoshop went kaput this week but I fixed it These I set up on the patio.





Enjoy!

Suzanne, wow. I love the way you captured the look of the stained glass with light coming through it. That's so powerful. Well done!

Kay, thanks for adding two more rich and glorious photos. I love those colors!

O,my goodness, Kay, what a challenge!!! Very beautiful pictures, I'll try my hand at one of these, but have serious doubts about doing it any justice!!
Happy painting, everyone!

Thanks Robert, and welcome Charri (my nephew married a gorgeous blue eyed blonde from S. Africa) we are so glad to have you join us. Bonnie, this glass slipper is too cool so where is Cinderella? I had lost those glass jars photos when Photoshop crashed but was able to find them for this, but barely.
