Well, here's mine. This was my first watercolor sky. The difficulties with this particular photo is that the sunset had multiple reflected light values and hues, along with some very deep cloud values. I think that I learned from this, however, and would have done things differently - for one, lighter values in the dark clouds. Second, carefully plan where to place my warmer blue skies, and not have the cobalt painted over the first wash of sienna and cobalt orange, as it granulates over the orange, and dulls it into a muddy pale green color. Also, I overworked this and got too "tight". Would have loved more looseness, and more lost and found edges. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
I painted this on a bright, sunny day in sept.2011. I learned now the lake has to be darker than the sky. But how do I make this painting (cool) painting more warm/sunny?
