For day # 19 of the Direct Watercolor challenge, I painted one of the most interesting barns we’ve found in Texas, just east of Kennard, Texas on Highway 7 on our way to Nacogdoches. Bill and I both think this would make an awesome house! I left out the wooden fence that ran along the front where the wildflowers are, thinking they might detract too much from the barn. In fact, maybe I should have left the wildflowers out as well?
I also played around with painting in a vignette style, something I’ve wanted to learn to do but have never really tried before. I think I still don’t use a light enough hand at it.
I am really enjoying your watercolors for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fay! 😊
DeleteI second Fay’s comment. I love your dark greens—what did you use? That barn would make a cool house with all of those interesting roof lines.
ReplyDeleteThat’s Bill’s and my thinking — what a cool house this would make!
DeleteThe greens are serpentine, undersea green, and the darkest is perylene green — all Daniel Smith.
Thanks!
