At least I assume trying to learn something new that requires attention and hand-eye coordination is good for a person of my age (78! how did that happen?)
These three were done attempting to follow a video tutorial. (She makes it look so easy.) They are still unfinished, awaiting the final touches of white ink (I've ordered a pen) but I don't hold out much hope--I know I over-worked them, especially the one on the right (Night Sky, ha! Big Mess.) But that's how I learn, evidently, by making mistakes.
I also learned about the importance of taking time to let the paint dry (or half-dry, depending on what you're doing.) That was the idea in the tutorial behind working on three pictures at one time--a little here, then move on to the next.
The next day I did an exercise from Watercolor Success in Four Steps. This went slightly better though I should have taken more time with my preliminary sketch. And while I was waiting for the various stages to dry, I washed some more windows. Multitasking!
Along with yesterday's rainy landscape, I'd like to paint these daffodils. . . someday . . .
