Day 40 - 365 Challenge

22 April

I think the instructions on my Doorway watercolor should be rewritten. I think
the order of some things should be changed. I painted in order of directions given but... I think after applying the wash for the brick the mortar coloring and the branch and limbs should be done BEFORE the stippling that is the leaves. Also the door wash should have been applied BEFORE the leaves in the left hand side plant.

For my own painting skills, i should have applied a lighter wash for the bricking. It is much too heavy.

After i finish this piece i think i should paint a 2nd one in the order i feel would have been better and see what difference it would make.

Thank God for the diversion. It is storming once again!
