Splash!!

Our focus on water continues much to my delight.



Waves thundering towards the rocks, this is my version of a famous watercolour painting. I especially like the wet on wet for the waves - creates a blurred outline which depicts water so well. I also learnt how to splatter the painting so that it looks like drops of water. The white foam is obvious because I used such dark colours next to it.





Here is another of waves - Susie smoothed out the colours so that the change is not too obvious. I used that wax crayon to reserve the white foam and I like the way watercolour seeps between so that it's not an obvious demarcation. You also see this in this next one of a building in town.
