Here’s the rest of my Direct Watercolor challenge. I have to admit, these last few ones are more in the spirit of “okay, let’s get to 30” than learning-focussed. These were painted at San Jose State University. The beautiful Mission-inspired architecture is a joy to paint in the summer light.
And a few very quick ones here. Artichoke flowers.
And a turkey 🙂
And with that, #30x30DirectWatercolor2018 is a wrap for me. A post on what I learnt to follow soon. But for now, out comes my pen!
Sketch Away: Travels with my sketchbook 
Wow, I really see your progress! When you started with the direct w.c., you were still making lines – only using your paint & brush to make them. Now you’re mostly just making shapes. Such an impressive, focused improvement – you must be so pleased! :^)

Thank you, I will have to loo
k back at them all and see if I can see this as clearly as you do: it’s certainly been useful to me to work this way!

I so enjoy all your posts. My watercolor / sketching leader turned me on to your blog several months ago. I save them all in a special folder.
My question: what kind of pen do you use mostly? I can’t quite get it right. You seem to only sketch some things with the pen as guide lines. Your work is so cool.
Thanks , Jan
