Happy to be gifted with a new set of water colours, a surprise it was supposed to be !
The first thing that came to my mind were landscapes cause you can make utmost use of these water colours with different levels of shading. Initially tried it on sketching paper I came up with this scenic mountains and river ! But really had a tough time to bring out the natural look cause paper became so soggy. Personally feel so elated to bring out different shades of blue - since m no expert in this.
My work area :) did maximum I could with available resources . Brushes and palettes are about 7years old. Its so much fun to relive some of the forgotten hobbies :)
This painting I did it on good quality paper especially designed for water colours and acrylics ! I wanted to picturise the early morning sight in a thick forest . The paper(acquarello sheets) gave me full freedom to use water liberally and scrape it out using cloth and tissues for some light effect!Had to browse and learn some painting techniques like the dry brush technique , lifting wet colour and the wet in wet technique. Hope it was a good try after a long break :)
