Once again I joined in freehand collaboration on Instagram, and once again I went with watercolor.
There is lots of room for improvement, but I am not completely unsatisfied. Watercolor is not my strongest suit, but practice makes perfect. This time I used little bit more color than I did last time, and effect is so soft, like a soft morning light that is filtered through light fog...
This is hard for me to pull, as I am the kind of gal that like her colors strong and saturated - definitively challenge within the challenge.
In a way, I love the way this muted color scheme looked, but I was not entirely sold on execution.
I may be too harsh on myself, but this is how I feel about it. I love how the little mushroom looks, and that was supposed to be the only nail with the focus. Rest of them supposed to be blurry, out of focus, just a blobs of paint, but how to achieve that was out of my depth.
In any case, this was a nice challenge and nice experience for me. Who knows where this may led, and I may learn thing or two about watercolors, but maybe I should stick to the bigger canvas all together?!
I am so looking forward to four day weekend, even though there is no plans, just time to rest and recharge inner batteries.
Have yourself a wonderful day.
Cheers!
