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.
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.
