Flowers for David

Little watercolor flowers for my David. :)

These simple exercises came from Charles Reid's "Painting Flowers in Watercolor". I had to temporarily stop colored pencil drawing due to RSI; watercolor painting seemed less of a problem and I really wanted to play with it, so I was watercolor painting the whole day (and everything except those flowers sucked).

Watercolor painting is tough! Like UNIX, the initial learning curve is painful. Unlike pencils, colored pencils, or technical pens, one has to learn all the basic before being able to produce anything remotely decent. At our next trip, I'd like to apply nice watercolor along with other media in my sketchbooks, and that means I got a lot of homework to do.

Media: watercolor.
