Exercises from Lee's watercolor workshop!










^ This final study, done today at home, is based off of the work of one of Lee's favorite watercolorists (whose name I've unfortunately forgotten). The blue-to-red wash was done first - with some salt added for fun - followed by the ground plane. Next came the tree trunks and branches, and finally the leaves. A really fun exercise!

Paper is Arches Bright White 140lb.; watercolors are M. Graham. They're a blast to use and are my first professional-grade watercolors.

I still need to finish that sphere....
