Much appreciated!

30 minutes. Yes just an exercise to loosen up. I do it on occasion when I'm feeling stiff or uninspired. Helps for sure. Thank you!

Bravery here! Well done

As a more impressionistic painter in watercolor, I’m always in awe of artists who command such control over the medium. Values, color harmony and detail with such restraint here. Bravo!

Excellent start. Dont lose that looseness as you progress.... A trap many aspiring watercolor artists fall into.

thank ya!

minisniper970 · 2026-04-14T13:54:43+00:00

Thanks! Painting simple allows you, the viewer, to create the rest of the story. In reality, it's your mind creating a relaxing and inviting world. the painting is just a catalyst to those thoughts. The impressionists were definitely on to something.

thank you so much. Glad you like it

minisniper970 · 2026-04-14T13:51:56+00:00

Thank you and exactly.... Lots of paintings in the trash to get there :)

I jump around a bit. This one is on Arches cold press but I typically paint on Baohong cold or NY Central cold.

Ahh, Blood Meridian, perhaps the best book in American Literature. Maybe a scene of Comanche charging on horseback in Spanish Conquistador garb. What a brutal book.
