I'm glad you're trying watercolour because I think the medium would lend itself to your style. If you can find it, there is a book by a woman I think you would really like. It's called 'How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself' by Nita Engle. Thanks for sharing your class paintings. It takes awhile to work out all the properties of the different pigments--transparent, opaque, staining, etc. Then you have to play with working wet in wet, wet on dry, dry on dry, and refine your lost and found edge technique. It's hard and frustrating but also the most fun and magical when it works, IMO.

Something like this, Teapot? :)

Mmmm! Nice interplay of the warm and cool colours together! I got the sense of a forest fire. I am liking how you keep the movement and looseness with your paints. Though I can admire the control achieved, I don't find myself liking watercolours that get too 'tight', too detailed. This painting has a nice balance of a little detail with a lot of impression.

there is a knight guy being chased up the mountain.

the time spent on this is actually more around 50 minutes. safari quit on me, but i managed to pull what i had done so far back up. i was relieved..
anyway yeah this is just a safety save. i think i will continue on firefox.... :/

So good to see you and your art here Panda. It was missed. The detail on the horse and rider are outstanding, then you get the ripped places in the wings. You gotta worry for him. :)

When I looked at the thumb, I thought the wings were legs and the lower part of the sky was underpants. weird.
