Mark-making Experiments

Day 6 of #30x30DirectWatercolor2018: Today I was struggling to find a subject, so I focused on brushwork instead. I chose to do variations based on a photo I took in the park behind my house. For the first painting I used only a flat brush. I am more used to using flats in urbanscapes so I found it hard to keep the shapes lively and organic and the colors clear without any rounds.

For the second painting I used only rounds. This interpretation looks oddly southwestern, no?

Do you like one better than the other?

  1. It is great to observe the differences you got with the flat and the round brushes. Nicely done!
