I have done two different things in watercolor last night.  I have put on some minor details in the Ballroom Dancing painting and also darken the shadow area under the ballroom dancers.  I have put it up on an easel and look at it every day as I walk by and still are not too happy with the painting.  I don’t know what it is yet but I will come back to it later on when I find out.  Appreciate any help from the comments.

Watercolor Painting - Three Pears 15 x 20 inches

Besides that I have started another painting.  It is three pears on a 15 x 20 inches Strathmore cold press watercolor paper.  I started off with a light pencil sketch of the pears on the watercolor paper.  Because of the time I already spend on revising the Ballroom Painting and the sketch of this new painting, it was late in the night.  I cleaned my palette but forgot to change the brush cleaning water.  So as soon as I dip into the water and put some on the palette, I can see that it is a dirty grey.   So I found out that you have to replace your jar with clean water often or have several jars of water before you start.  It is important to have a clean palette and clean water always.
