A House in Winter


Its again a practice picture on 5.5 x 7.5 Fabriano 140 lb cp watercolor paper. After my last 2 ptgs had dried, I realized that watercolors lose a lot of intensity on drying. So u need to prepare a darker mixture than what you want it to look on paper. And I like the effects I got in blue this time, the color tones look just fine. I am really enjoying the practice lessons on 'Lets get started'. I would totally recommend it as a reference for beginners like me. The advices given on what kind of brushes to use is great, I would not have got this much control just on my own. So, I guess its a good idea to start with a book rather than random articles on web.

Happy learning!
