9.14 Washes & Line Art

I absolutely loved doing this set of watercolors.  There is something extremely beautiful to me about line art with a messy splash of color underneath.  I also feel like my crappy watercoloring looks a lot better with line art on top!


At first, my paintings weren't really washes, but got more and more wattery as I continued.  Obviously, my first, the lamp, is the most controlled.  My favorites are the ones I did last - the brushes, trash can, and my roommate Gabi, with the pink shirt.  I mostly did things from reference from one point in the common area of my suite.  The objects and people were either around me or on television.  So naturally there are a lot of mundane objects.  I also did 11 instead of 10 by accident, but hey, more practice!
