THREE SMALL WATERCOLOR STUDIES



I painted these small studies to warm up to watercolor after painting for quite a while in oil.  It's necessary because the thinking and approach is quite different between the two mediums.  After painting a bunch of small ones I then felt confident enough to tackle a big watercolor.

"PINK ROSES & GREEN DUCK"

Back to my green duck....This little guy appears over and over in my paintings.  I'd like to get some shore birds and other decoys because I seem to like painting them.
