Water Color Studies

This unit we learned about different techniques and strategies in creating watercolor landscapes. I worked with colors to create multiple 

For our materials, we have watercolor on watercolor paper. I used both thicker bamboo brushes and smaller detail brushes for creating things like the trees and details in the water. I used masking tape to create a border and pencil for outlines which hopefully has been fully erased.

The biggest struggle I had with these projects was figuring out how to always start with my lighter colors and detailing. I found it difficult to add detail on my water because of how odd the shading of water is, I think in the future I would like to work with water so I can further my understand of its shape and movement.  From my first study to my last I think you can see the difference and growth in my shading in clouds but the water and trees seem to get worse. I will definitely work with watercolor again and I am interested to see if I will be able to grow in these specific aspects.
