Waterfall

Medium: Watercolors (16x12)
First off, I just want to dedicate this post to the Artist behind it all at the Blue Chair Diary Illustrations. Much love and prayers Alexandra.

This is another something that I did in a class I'm taking at the local collage - lets just say it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. To prove it, here are my two demo's (aka epic failures) that I did at the beginning of class:
(sorry 'bout the dark lighting - I live in Seattle area!)

Here's the value picture I roughly based the painting after...


And then the close ups.



Thanks for coming by!

    What a great job you did with this. Water is so hard to capture and you did it magnificently - the force is there and the soft mist that surrounds it too. Clever lass!

    Excellent job on the waterfall and the surrounding greenery. It's deceptively simple--which is another way of saying, it's NOT simple to do!
