First Watercolor

(click to embiggen)
Aieeeehhhh! Paint and water everywhere! Too much paint then too much water then too much everything on the paper. I need a teacher!

I couldn't leave well enough alone. Went back and added a pale blue wash for a background. I think I messed it up.

Oh I like it, it has such a delicate feel about it...I like the blue wash too!

the blue wash definately works. Watercolors and pastels have to be the most difficult mediums to work in - oils you can cover things up.

Anita - Thank you!

Willym - Thank you for confirming watercolors are difficult. Watercolorists say they are easy and I'm just not getting it. I like the do-over aspect of oils and acrylics.

Sage - Thanks!

Rosemary - Will look upon what is a Sweet Devon Violet and see if I can tackle it. :)
