RE: My Watercolor painting “Snow in Edinburgh” and Scooter

in #painting7 years ago

Watercolour is hard.
I used to paint many years ago. Even did some commercial jobs but then put it down and went full on into photography.
In the summer I had a notion to want to paint again so i bought a little travel set of half pans and brush from the GSA art shop.
Quickly realised that I'd forgotten my touch and I was now rubbish at it.
I used to be good. :(

I can understand you Andrew, I think the best to start watercolors as a child, because htey never think if it looks like the building or a person, they just do and know that this is a building or a person and they are satisfied with it, they do not worry about the result, they are free. Once you start watercolor later it is a trouble, because your brain say: No... it does not look like it should be . Then people get frustrated and just stopped doing it, that is my opinion :)
