Okay, so here is the first of several watercolors that I have completed. I feel like a first-grader rushing home to proudly show off my masterful scribblings to a hopefully receptive audience.
Its amazing what a simple mat and frame purchased from the local craft store can do to elevate one's efforts to the status of "art".
This is my first completed efffort copied and enlarged from a photo of an existing painting.
My painting is double-matted in soft greens and mounted in a 16"x20" frame
.
This next watercolor entitled "Easter Liliies" is based on a photograph I took while visiting the Long Vue Gardens here in New Orleans, La.
This painting is double-matted in cream tones and mounted in a 14"x 18" gold-tone wood frame.
This last one is a study of a birch tree based on a tecnique I found on Youtube. It is simply matted in a dark blue 8"x10" mat.
Let me know what you think.
Should I sign up for the next class session?
Wow, Katie! Your paintings are wonderful, and I can't believe you've never taken an art class before. You're so talented!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Trisha!
DeleteI'm going to attempt a few more before I try to sell any just to be sure its not just a fluke but, I really do enjoy it. I'm trying to learn about what's involved in having copies printed (methods, materials, costs etc) and to determine pricing (that's the hardest part for me). Any input would be apreciated
