I did add some pen and ink to the "Hobbit" House and it looks better but still not great.
The alpaca painting I tore up and threw in the round file. No saving it. Sometimes you just know there's no hope and no reason to spend another minute on it.
I did begin the latest Monthly Project at WatercolorWorkshop - photo by Gina Hall. I'll be doing some glazing wet-in-wet for this one to get the apples right - and I removed a few of the apples.

looking good Rhonda, the ink helps the hobbit house and I will await your next photo of the apples.
Rhonda, this looks good! And referring to the Alpaca painting I remember an artist saying that only one of about ten paintings of him were really successful - so don't worry (the artist is one of the most famous wc artists in Europe - Bernhard Vogel!
Kind regards and happy painting!
Nice start for the apples - you have great contrast between the roundness and the linear shapes.
I actually like the hobbit house with the ink lines. Is Chemainus that little town near Victoria. where they have all those wonderful murals all over the place?
I think your new version of the Hobbit House with the ink additions would make a charming notecard if you convert your paintings to notecards. It just has that charming appeal.
I am just today transferring the apple basket to the watercolor paper so hope to start splashing in the paint later. Yours is coming along nicely so far, with a good start.
The ink saved it from a disaster, Dawn :) Claudia, 1 out of 10 doesn't suit me but I know sometimes you do get bad ones in among the good ones. And to think back on the ones I really really like and am glad I can say I painted that - well, maybe less than 1 in 10! ha ha
Nava, yes, it's Chemainus! And this is an actual B & B!
Susan, I worked more on the apples in class yesterday after we had a very long show-and-tell session of what we'd all been doing since we broke for an extended break (while Sandy was off in Italy and I was in BC and others were here and there).
