On Sunday I tried out the July challenge in the Watercolor forum at WetCanvas.com. I've learned a lot by combing through the posts there. This is a scene of a Canadian lake. This was my first shot at any kind of scenery, including mountains, trees, water, and sky. All previous attempts at painting have been simple studies of an animal's body or head.
I think the mountains turned out well but I'm not thrilled with the other aspects. Plus the light is coming from all kinds of crazy directions, something I didn't notice until I'd finished the painting! Oops. :) Live and learn - I'll do better next time!
