I'm really happy with the way this exercise in my watercolor course, called Silver and Gold, turned out! You use a lot of different techniques, including masking fluid, wet on wet painting, and sponge painting , and apply them in layers. I'm going to look for some photos for other subjects that I adapt to get similar effects.
Before moving on to the next set of exercises, which are all about painting water, I decided to do another painting that focused on skies and trees. This one is the outdoor chapel at MO Ranch in Hunt, Texas--a Presbyterian retreat center.I like the way the sky turned out and the trees are pretty good, too. The chapel is on top of a very high hill, but the photo I used to paint from didn't show that so I didn't either!

Bravo, Jody! It is so fun to see your progress. Great colors in the first and sky and perspective in the second. Looks like you are enjoying yourself.
I am! Thanks for the encouragement.
Love Mo-Ranch! Great trees looking forward to more pictures.
