Don't g...So glad your husband is doing well! <br /><br />Don't give up on your painting yet...there is still so much that can be done to help it. Darkening some of the leaves to make the foliage have more variation in depth. A shadow, like you said. Make one side of the barn darker than the other since the sun wouldn't likely hit them both evenly. Then add some texture to the vertical boards. At this point in your learning of watercolor, I wouldn't worry about overworking so much. Especially if you don't like where it is anyway. Use it as a way to learn different lessons. Experiment. Well, that was just a thought that came into my head. I'm sure others might have different opinions, especially about the overworking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-90772866796090967562011-10-25T16:41:04.432-04:002011-10-25T16:41:04.432-04:00Your post is just like that book title. You remind...Your post is just like that book title. You remind me of me. lol I so want to paint watercolour, but... too much overthinking, too much overworking and too much self abuse. Hang in there. I am always amazed at how simply watercolour artists manage to bring the image to life with very little. As another blogger recently posted elsewhere, be kind to yourself and as my husband always reminds me, it's supposed to be fun! :) Glad to hear your husband is on the mend.<br />Stay inspired!<br />Michelle<br /><a href="http://brainangles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Brain Angles - Invisible Ink</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
