Green Thumb?



Do you think they'll grow? This was a still life from "life" done in Rocky Alexander's watercolor class today. Spent a few minutes at home tidying it up. I try to take care of my brushes, but it surely would be nice if they would self-propagate!

To purchase this original watercolor, please follow the link:

Aloha!

  1. This is nice. Nice job on the glass; it looks real. Yes, brushes are expensive so it would be nice if they propagated!

    1. Thanks, Chris! This painting really didn't come together for me until the very end. It helped having Rocky's encouragement...watercolor, not for wimps!

  3. Great line about growing. LOL. You did a wonderful job showing how the water magnifies and breaks the flow of the line.

    1. Thanks Julie! I'm really interested in trying your watercolor waxing method after I find the wax you recommended.
