More practice

 I have been practicing my watercolors. Here are a few shots of what I'm up to in between writing.

I got this exercise from artist Allison Lyon on You Tube

I got this exercise from a workshop on Skillshare.

The last image is a practice watercolor I did along with artist Kat Furrow and her free workshop on Facebook. She's fantastic.

Beginner Watercolor Painting

 Okay I am brand new at watercolors. Can you tell?

Abstract flowers 1

I did this "Abstract Flowers 1" as my first watercolor in years during an online class. It actually looks prettier in person. The workshop was given by artist Kat Furrow on Facebook. Her work is gorgeous.

Today I did a little practice with the paints and brushes. I've got a ways to go.

Swatches 1

Just practicing using the watercolors into gradient shades.

Feathers 1

from tutorial Louise De Masi on Patreon

I joined her Brush Marks tier to get access to her tutorials. Love it. 

This is a decent first attempt. I overworked the colors.
