Just having fun with washes the last few days. Trying not to get to heavy with the paint. Nothing too special not any major techniques other than wet in wet. I did let things dry a little bit. Trying to learn to be patient. I must pull out the hair dryer that may help the situation. This was a scene from a picture I took up in North Conway NH
This painting is a small 5 x 7 size, watercolor. Today was Friday the 13th and a full moon as well. So this one feels over worked for me. I should have stopped a while ago doing those greens on the bottom. I’ve included a few pictures as a work in progress. Also the actual photo I took. There is a lot more in the photo like flowers and a wall to the right. I needed to keep it simple to actually finish it for today.
Quick little wet in wet 2 x 5 inch painting done on arches post card. It was a paint and run kind of day. I think for fun for next few I will take a picture of the inspiration and possibly works in progress pictures. Its fun to see the progression I think. This little painting really just went on as you see it. Not to many layers.

I honestly am shocked at myself to continue with this challenge. What I have been doing is grabbing a piece of watercolor paper, and have several pictures to choose from. They are quick wet on wet, at times I have two going just to give the first painting a rest so it dry’s a little bit. These are taking no more than 20 min to 45 min to finish. Pretty soon I will start a more ambitious painting to work over a period of time. While still doing these quick paintings.
