Description The first in a 4-painting series (hmm, I wonder what the other 3 paintings will be...) Per usual, I'm not entirely happy with the results... much better than where I was this time last semester, but not yet where I want to be.

o my goodness, I'm so sorry I didn't get to log in sooner and see this (darn you college!) because it is absolutely gorgeous !! every painting or creative piece seems to be even better than the last, i am so impressed with each & every one i know everyone else said it already in their comments but I really can't wait to see the other three. I especially love the way you colored the woman's clothing, it looks so elegant & soft

lol yeah, college is quite the adjustment! how are you liking your classes so far? thanks for your comments, I'm glad you like it! right now I feel like I bit off more than I can chew, but hopefully the other three will come out close to as well as the first. not where I want it to be yet, but it's my first major focus on figurative watercolor and it's really small scale, so I'm pleased so far.

yeah I can't wait to see the other two (i'm far behind and just saw your summer one as i write this hehe) seeing your paintings makes me want to learn water color, but I have a feeling I wouldn't know how to keep the colors so controlled & they'd make a mess and bleed all over.

I really love my classes thus far (ESPECIALLY WRITING) and i just joined the writing journal on campus which is great so far, everyone is really nice. its also good because they'll get me off my lazy bum & writing some more new stuff

awesome! have fun with the campus journal! I love your writing classes thus far as well, their fruits are giving me lots of great stuff to read (which is difficult to find around here!!!) and watercolor is not that difficult to control, it's a matter of finding the right paper for your style, and learning how wet or dry to keep the brush. I've found that the more textured/pointillistic the brushstroke, the easier it is to hide mistakes not that I'm pressuring you or anything...

I love all the light. And the folds of the clothing. And the rabbits. And ... everything. Your work is so awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the other three.

thanks so much! I'm going to warn you, though, it's not going to be a happy ending...

Happy endings are never a guarantee. They're a bonus prize.

Cool! I think I remember hearing about this from Beth. Are you going to do a seasonal theme then? Can't wait to see what else you'll have!
