Update: I uploaded a new slide I had taken last year. It looks much much better, used a better camera and lighting conditions. Happily I re-present it to you...:heart:

Note me for info on prints. ;)

Finished, watercolor and india ink. My technique's a little hap-hazard, and where in "Over There" I used too little color perhaps here I used too much. Any suggestions on watercolor technique would be appreciated. ^^

Stinks taking photos at night, but I did anyway! brightness was fixed but still a little off.

Edit: took a better picture, now it's clearer :)

This is still quite nice. The richness of color builds depth and the ink provides emphasis. Watercolor is a tough medium, too. It's immediate and can be used to great effect. But you can't really control its behavior on the surface and you don't have a lot of recourse if things get out of hand. I think you handle it quite well. :meditation:

Thank you :blush: :D :thanks: It usually does get quite out of hand, but the ink helps bring it back for me.

The thing I find most interesting is, you're getting the same sort of feel in your oil paintings. No ink, obviously; but your paint handling and color palette work together to give a strong feeling of kinship between your watercolors and your oils.
