watercolors





i like to paint with watercolors or acrylics mostly.....I love to do nature studies and need to start doing it more. When I taught kindergarten, I had a blast teaching my students how to paint and how to do nature studies.

I don't like how the yellow has such a 'glare' to it in the first photo--I tried to burn it some...but, I just couldn't get it quite the way I wanted it---so, I played with different filters instead.

ETA: Picture #3---just added this picture--SOOC it had a MAJOR blue tint---had to play with levels and the level dropper to try to get the whites white. Not very experienced with this but tried---what do you think???
HHCC.....:) TFL!

Gorgeous! I love the first one. I think I prefer the color because it is so colorful. Does that make sense?
