200 - Terry Harrison Tutorial

Working along with one of the tutorials on Terry Harrison's video, 'Improve Your Trees in Watercolor'. What took him about 20 minutes to do has taken me half a day of pausing and rewinding and pausing.... and rewinding. My effort doesn't look half bad once photographed and reduced to the size of a large stamp but the original is a bit ropey, still it's all part of the learning process and hopefully in 6 months or a years time I will be able to look back and see a big improvement.

Of-course the downside is that I now 'must have' a set of Terry Harrison's special brushes.

192-195

A series of studies/exercises using acrylics shown from the bottom in the order they were painted. It's a new medium for me so it's early days but I'm really keen to practice and improve. Whilst I like the idea of tackling small 'manageable' subjects, things that don't take too long but give the opportunity to learn and explore, I am desperate to have a go at a 'proper' picture. Judging by my early attempts its probably best that I carry on with the studies for the moment.
