Watercolor ~ D”Arches ~ 9×12

WATERCOLOR has often been described as a difficult medium to master. Having an adventurous nature to learn new techniques I decided to give WATERCOLOR a try.

WATERCOLOR requires extensive practice and patience. Not to mention access to the supplies, as the paint cannot be scrapped off or the paper reused as with oils on a canvas.

Watercolor Practice

AFTER many unsuccessful attempts, hours of practice exercises and less than perfect watercolor paint choices for the palette, proficiency was finally achieved with the medium.
