Feeble Attempt by grammyn

Feeble Attempt

Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond encouraged me to try painting a watercolor with her and casablanca. They posted their pictures yesterday https://365project.org/30pics4jackiesdiamond/extra-special-o/2021-01-23 (with a link to casablanca) and I bought supplies today to do the same. I am used to working with oils so there is a learning curve for me with watercolors. It could be worse but it could be better too! Thanks for the challenge Jackie!
Oh, I like that very much! The trees remind me of Aspens or Birches. Which also makes me think of Robert Frost poems. Lovely!

this looks good. aces! mine looks like something else.🥴 it's hard to paint trees. i prefer sky and sea. oh, well, i'll mull it over and see if i have enough courage to post mine.

It is a beautiful painting. I like using watercolour as I really like the finished effect.
January 24th, 2021  
Ah, nicely done. I so excited for you guys to be spreading your wings in this way.
January 24th, 2021  
it's beautiful truly it is ....
January 24th, 2021  
This is really good. Everyone’s art (as we all have seen on this site) stands on its own.
January 24th, 2021  
Mine would be a blurry mess. You are multi-talented!!
January 24th, 2021  
The three of you are doing really well at this.

Katy this is lovely.
January 25th, 2021  
fantastic!!
January 25th, 2021  
What a great job you did! Even if it wasn't what you usually paint in...
January 25th, 2021  
Very well done!!! Especially love the look of the trees. The white with the brown texture of bark looks so appealing.
January 25th, 2021  
The sign of a true artist... the medium doesn’t matter... it’s all in the eye! Oil, watercolor, camera... your skills in composition, light, perspective are all there! Well done. 💞
January 25th, 2021  
You have so much talent Katy, I would not achieve anything.
January 25th, 2021  
it's rather wonderful really!
January 25th, 2021  
I love this - well done!
January 25th, 2021  
Nice.
January 25th, 2021  
Beautiful! And it made for another great picture.
January 25th, 2021  
Very nicely done. The art of water colour is simplicity and knowing when to stop!
January 25th, 2021  
It's interesting how these creative skills are intertwined. You know composition and light so well with your photography.
January 25th, 2021  
I'm loving seeing all your paintings. They're all the same but with different personal touches. You're very talented.

@darylo i’m glad you like it and I’m glad the trees remind you of birches. That is what they are supposed to be so I must be doing something right!
@summerfield I feel certain your skills are much better than mine and you are being too hard on yourself. I hope you post yours so I can see it.
@nicolecampbell you are very generous with your praise and I thank you for that.
@randystreat thank you so much Kathy. It is fun to have somebody to compare and share with.
@lesip girl! You are far too nice to say that.
@jaybutterfield I really appreciate that, Jay. And you are correct about everybody’s art
@olivetreeann I doubt that and thank you so much.
@shutterbug49 thanks, Debbie! It helps to have the encouragement from others.
@louannwarren ah Lou Ann, that is so nice of you to say.
@dutchothotmailcom seriously? Such enthusiasm! Thanks bunches Esther.
@madamelucy that’s really very nice of you to say, Terri.
@cjphoto wow! I really appreciate that Chris.
@marilyn awww. You are always so kind with your support and praise❣️
@ludwigsdiana that’s really nice of you Diana but I feel you could fall of the tutorial just as well as I could.
@koalagardens what a really nice thing to say Katrina. Thank you so much.
@linnypinny that means a lot to me,Lin. Thanks
@larrysphotos thanks for taking the time to review and comment Larry.
@geertje I really appreciate your opinion,Geertje. Thank you.
@maggiemae thank you Maggiemae. That’s a perfect assessment and something I struggle with.
@tunia how nice of you to say Tunia. I do find a connection.
@serendypyty thank you, Cazzi. It is interesting to see how different our finished painting is when we all watched the same tutorial
January 26th, 2021  
Once again, your talent is so marvelous! Amazing effort and photo!
January 26th, 2021  
No really- I could hold my own with charcoal, pencil, pen and ink but I was not really good at oils, acrylic or watercolor. I was always more of a sketcher than a painter.
January 26th, 2021  
@wyomingsis Oh my goodness! You are entirely too kind!♥
@olivetreeann See? that is where we differ! I can't draw a thing!
January 26th, 2021  
@grammyn Painting is harder!
January 26th, 2021  
@olivetreeann agree to disagree! ♥
January 26th, 2021  
There's a lovely feel to your painting. Quite whimsical I think.
January 26th, 2021  
@kwiksilver that is so generous of you Gillian. I appreciate your positive comments.
January 26th, 2021  
I agree with Tunia @tunia. Your creative photography and painting skills are related. I think this is wonderful!
January 27th, 2021  
Katy I missed this. I'm so sorry!! It's fabulous!! I had no idea that water colours were so difficult, but it's fun trying. FAV
January 27th, 2021  
@eudora I really appreciate how kind your comments are Diane. Thank you so much!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I think fabulous is a stretch but thank you. Yes I think watercolors are difficult too but I agree it is also fun trying.
January 27th, 2021  
Whoa! this is soooo good!
January 28th, 2021  
This is far from a feeble attempt, I think it’s great
January 28th, 2021  
@monikozi @kjarn there is so much wrong with this but you are both so very kind. I really appreciate your positivity. Thank you
January 28th, 2021  
Well, if it were perfect, there would be nowhere to go from here, right? Learn from the wrongs and rejoice the rights.
It would be so interesting to see a version in oils :D No, this is not a challenge, but we have seen watercolour and acrylic. It would also be interesting to see a drawn version.
