This is my second go at this, from a reference I found on Paint My Photo.
It's an improvement over the last in some ways, but I'm still not quite there yet ...
Again, I had a problem with the paper! In the lower quarter of the sheet; there was some defect there. But in this case it was for once a help, adding to impression of a worn wooden boat.
Always a silver lining lol, the fault worked to your advantage, it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie.
DeleteOh these guys are great... And the boat... YAAAY !
ReplyDeleteAnd get out those old paintings, put them on Etsy. Your work is very saleable. Is that the word?
I am getting buried in watercolor paintings, and I have a one room studio apartment...
Thank you, Barbra Joan. I have to go through my flat files!
DeleteI like the boat texture and color a lot but what really gets me are those floppy webbed feet hanging over the edge - yay! I think you nailed it with this one, and made the bad paper work for you (could the bad paper be how you store it? or where you store it? I never get a paper that doesn't work well anymore although Arches used to be iffy years ago with bad spots and some musty smelling paper in batches).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteI store my paper in a flat file, in the plastic or paper it comes in but 1) some of it may be getting old(?) and 2), and I think this is probably the real culprit, I don't have air conditioning and it can get humid here!
Love this, and all the bird personality in it. Wonderful.
