Last Ones

 Last little sketches…




My goal this year is to really hold back on painting every inch of every painting and retain some whites to give things more energy and pop.  But I’ve been painting in watercolor since 2003 or so and haven’t learned this yet.  I don’t mind going back in with white gouache or something but I’d rather remember to leave that white untouched…

These are beautiful, Rhonda. Love the lotus pod!
I know what you; I feel like I never learn some things, like the right ratio of water to paint!

Rhonda so nice to read and see your beautiful work again. For some reason I have lost seeing your regular posts. Hope you are having a fine winter and seeing signs of spring. Hugs!

Thanks, Laura. Sometimes it does seem like a mental block about some techniques!
Debbie, thanks and good to see you - will catch up with your blog soon. I have decided Facebook just doesn’t do it for me when it comes to actually connecting to other artists and seeing their work.
