The other day, when I was trying to think of something to paint, I decided to see if I could duplicate one of the paintings I did last year. But, this time I was going to paint in watercolour instead of acrylic.

| #935 - Waling in the Rain - 6 x 8 acrylic |
|
This is last year's painting; an acrylic palette knife piece on a small gallery wrap canvas.
 |
| #1001 - Autumn Rain - 5 x 7 watercolour |
And this is this year's painting! I am very pleased with the way this turned out and it was such fun to paint.
There are only six days left in
Leslie's 30/30 Challenge so head over and check out what the other artists have been doing before it is too late.
Thanks for stopping by - please leave a comment!
Val I love this! Loved the first one too. You are such a master! You always surprise me with a new medium :) Your sky is perfect, and the reflections!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. I wasn't sure if I could get the same effect with the watercolour but was very pleased with the finished piece. It is fun to experiment!
DeleteYou certainly looked a lot more comfortable with doing this piece again. The difference in medium is apparent but the feel is still there. I like the brighter colors in the new one as well. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nelvia. I am more comfortable with watercolour - it is my medium of choice. Glad you like this.
DeleteAs you should love it! Very beautiful in watercolor. I am taking a watercolor workshop in March. Really looking forward to getting them out again,and you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie. I can't wait to see what you can do with watercolour (glad if I inspired you) - I hope you will share.
DeleteThe original acrylic was really nice, but I like the vivid colors in the watercolor version. You got such nice rich colors! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan, I like the cleanness of the watercolours too and, of course, the white of the paper adds to the glow - especially of the red. Glad you like it.
