It has been a rather wet day. I did not feel like working at the computer so I decided to play. But take up a challenge too. Time to tackle a more complicated water color. This one with all the angles and details was indeed a challenge. Hopefully I was up to the task. It was also a bit of an experiment, using a mixture of tubed water colors, pan water colors and my water color pencils. I have a limited selection of pencil colors. I also used a fan brush, small round brush and a q-tip. There is a couple of different sized Archival ink pens involved and a silver felt pen for the chrome on Flying Cloud. As my own critic it seems to me I am just as heavy handed with water colors as I am with acrylics. Color and lots of it. I did have fun and that is the main thing.

Good job on your perspective, Susan. I have been drawing corners of the rooms in my home, today, for practice. I think you captured the foreshortening on this boat pretty well. This, I know is a difficult angle with so much of one side showing.

Thank you David. Not sure about WC being my forte, yet. I still get frustrated and it takes me way longer then working with acrylics. I will keep practicing. Hey I had fun too.
