Description Today my body was CRAVING an actual paintbrush. I would prefer to paint in oils, but right now I can NOT afford them. So I figured I would go buy a cheap little watercolor set and some brushes then go outside and just PAINT!

It felt so good to paint from observation again, AND with an actual paintbrush and on REAL PAPER!

LOL!

Never really used watercolors before (except using some black ink in drawing classes if that counts). So here is my first attempt.

Check out my second attempt here:

Water Colours are so extremely difficult to paint with, this looks phenomenal Chip! Love it. If you do some water color peices again you should try splashing some salt on your paper and then turning the paper upsidedown and tapping the excess salt off. It gives such neat texture! Experiment with it one day I used salt to make a stipply texture on the tree tops in one of my water colours.
This is looking pretty awesome though Chip
