It’s amazing how we are influenced by things and they stick with us. I saw this Koosje Koene video back in March of 2014 (courtesy of Inkophile) and it still has an effect on my work! Splashy backgrounds have become my “thing.”
Back when I was taking a watercolor class, I worked so “tight!” I was trying to make things look perfect. Instead they looked stiff. Now I love painting loose and messy.
Here are two other pieces I’ve created recently. Follow me on Instagram to see my latest projects. 🙂
Aww, love them all, but ice cream cones are my favorite! 😀 Watercolor is so playful, I am really enjoying it much more now than before when I was just starting to learn. Happy painting! 🙂
Thank you Sibella! I think in the beginning watercolor is a bit scary because it has a mind of its own.
I agree. For me it’s a nice break from pastels and I also love their transparency . 🙂
I love the ice cream cones ~~ yummy art
Thank you 🙂
Hi Eileen- watercolor can be so much fun. I love how color puddles and adds new dimensions. These are lovely paintings!
Thanks Sharon! Yes it is fun 🙂
