Blue Ridge Mountains Landscapes

My first attempt at watercolor since I was a kid. I took a class today. The photo on the left is is my interpretation of a painting that the instructor brought. the second photo, the one on the right, is my watercolor interpretation of a photo I took. I think I did pretty good. I also think that I’ll try this again sometime soon.
Great work Kathy ! I know how hard watercolors can be !

@cocobella it was frustrating to me to get the color value. I wanted. Plus the painting on the left wasn’t attempt to copy a photo that I had taken and I didn’t have a good blue. But I am proud of what I accomplished, and I appreciate your encouragement. Thank you.
@grammyn Katy, thank you so much. You encouraged me to try and I did. I feel like I will try some more too.
@annied thank you Annie. I will do my best with your challenge. I realize they actually have them tagged with two different different tags so I’m gonna guess that you looked at the latest tag which is gpkac.
@mcsiegle Mary thank you so much and I intend to keep painting.
@olivetreeann thank you and I really appreciate that.
@onewing thank you Babs. This was a new experience for me and I really enjoyed it.
@cdcook48 thank you very much Chris
@bkbinthecity Brian
@365anne thank you very much Anne
@jamibann I appreciate you saying that Issi. talent maybe maybe not but I plan to keep it up.
@haskar oh thank you, Hannah
@kjarn I appreciate that Kathy. Thank you,
@wakelys Sue, you are so kind. I thank you very much.
@will_wooderson thank you Will. I don’t know how to use watercolor well enough to do much more than abstract. I do like the washes of color though.
@pusspup thank you Wiley.
@summerfield appreciate it Vikki. I hope to do more because I really enjoyed it.
@walksnaplove thank you Bec.
@ziggy77 thanks Jo.
@sunnygirl I appreciate you saying that Mallory.
@bobbic thank you Bobbi. I need to learn to get better control of the color values. And the water. I think I dried my painting with the hairdryer more than anybody else in the class.
@craftymeg Thank you, Meg. That painting was based on a photo. I took a number of years back.
@tunia thank you Tunia. It’s a bit early to call it my style probably more like the style of the instructor. Of course mine, that I copied of hers, looks nothing like hers.

@randystreat I used this one from your profile- I assume it has older images in it - but I am happy for you to use whichever one works for you :)
April 16th, 2024  
@annied I'll use the older ones then. I must take the time and correct that.
April 17th, 2024  
@randystreat I found I had too different tags for my get pushed too hahaha
April 17th, 2024  
😄
April 18th, 2024  
They're both lovely Kathy - keep it up! I would liove to be able to paint but that's restricted to the kitchen cabinets:(
April 21st, 2024  
@fbailey Oh Felicity. You might find it an enjoyable pastime, especially compared to the kitchen cabinets.
