A Stroll in the Park

Watercolor
12" X 16"
 on Arches 140lb CP paper
This is my biggest challenge since I am quite nervous about painting landscapes. I always feel I cannot paint vegetation well. But when I saw the challenge photo at A Day Not WastedI decided to take on the difficult task. It was not an easy feeling with the foliage. Nonetheless, I hope it looks ok.

  4. You painted a love day in the park & you should feel proud. I love the additional person & dog, makes the whole scene come alive. It really is a piece of life recorded on the canvas. Good job!

  5. VERY GOOD! I'm inclined to disregard that you "cannot paint vegetation"! Now what are you going to use as an excuse? ha ha ha ha!

    Is that you walking the dog? :-)

  6. Je ne sais pas si tu as du mal à peindre la végétation, mais je peux te féliciter pour celle que tu nous offre grâce à cette toile remplie de lumière, de sérénité et de couleurs... L'atmosphère de celle-ci est très plaisante. Bravo.
    Gros bisous
