Playing with Water Color

Watercolor is a thing I have played with for some time. 

I am by no means proficient. A class showed up that combined watercolor, 

perspective drawing & architecture. I jumped in.

It is through Domestica. Had never heard of them before.

Alex Hillkurtz is the instructor. Image above is his. Link to the class here.
The video content is crystal clear. His explanations of supplies, techniques
& execution are very good. He did a live talk on Instagram
that supported the class content. Alex lives in Paris.
 There were attendees from all over the world.
We ARE all in this together!

I picked this picture from our gorgeous old State Hospital grounds
for my first run through.

The resulting thumbnail quick sketch.
That's all I've got so far.

 I would love to be comfortable sketching then 

adding color to scenes in my journal when I travel.

That means I need to spend more time at it.

A post from last year's A to Z included Candace Rose Rardon
Her sketches are so accurate and sweet.

If you have a minute scroll down & look at her images from her travels. 

A couple past forays into watercolor in my journal.  

 

On a whale watch in British Columbia years ago we saw grey whales breach. 

My minimalist sketch from a photo. 

Have you found more creative opportunities popping up lately?

Artists everywhere are sharing, teaching, & doing more during this time of isolation.

A silver lining however thin.
