#119 Rocks!

This one is NOT based on a photo at all but straight from my head. I think I'm finally getting the hang of the watercolor painting thing. Yay!

When we travel outside of Maine, I miss seeing rocks. (unless we're in New Hampshire)

EDM #77 Something cold

The water here is VERY cold. This is Smalls Falls near Farmington, Maine. The painting was originally done for Kate Johnson's watercolor texture class. I'm including the reference photo and the reworked version of the painting.

EDM #18 - the view from a window

Another assignment from week 2 of Kate Johnson's watercolor texture class. This was a bark closeup. These trees are what I see out our back sliding glass door.

#15 A tree

I'm taking Kate Johnson's on-line watercolor textures class and last week we did foliage. Here is a tree from the north end of Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia - painted and its photo.

Improbable rock formations

This has been my favorite exercise from the Keys to Creative Drawing so far. If there's one thing Maine has besides trees, it's rocks. Gosh I love rocks. It never ceases to amaze me how many different shapes and sizes they come in. They're all over the place, as if they were sprinkled from above. I wonder if anyone has waxed poetic over rocks......
