I personally think you have to be true to yourself as well, and your style is lovely. It sounds like it was a good workshop!

If so I'm uneducated too. Can't seem to drop the colour -- and I absolutely love the colour in your work. Please don't change.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-81893178933242389782009-05-19T16:23:00.000-04:002009-05-19T16:23:00.000-04:00I love the magnolias.

I took a Jeanne Dobie class once, and she is a wonder at getting degrees of color. Her book has some exercises that I've tried and helped me to some extent with those "mouse colors"...HeartFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065965886951764136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-42728351182189656592009-05-19T10:05:00.000-04:002009-05-19T10:05:00.000-04:00Beautiful work, Laura.

I love your watercolors but if you want to add grays, just get all your primary and secondary complements, mix them, and paint with just the complementary colors, leaving the pure colors in the focal area only - see what you come up with. It's fun and easy to do. I love Jeanne Dobie's term for these grays = mouse color :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-90857514346335785392009-05-19T08:02:00.000-04:002009-05-19T08:02:00.000-04:00The little girl is my favorite, she's so prese...The little girl is my favorite, she's so present & the colors pull you right in.

His paintings have so much color going on.<br />As for grays, a former teacher of mine would always use a combo of palatte colorscathyswatercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318863061595720021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-61585718139516150552009-05-19T04:31:00.000-04:002009-05-19T04:31:00.000-04:00I love the way you paint your watercolours - these...I love the way you paint your watercolours - these ducks are terrific.Art with Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433688529703445847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-75619006708553422712009-05-18T22:38:00.000-04:002009-05-18T22:38:00.000-04:00I am in awe with the clarity and simple beauty of ...I am in awe with the clarity and simple beauty of your watercolours<br /><br />NattieNatashia McEwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455039377141520124noreply@blogger.com
