These, along with the next set, were painted on a high quality multi-media paper, Stonehenge White. Easy to paint onl. Liked the results. Not as happy with the more prominent washes than with the ones that were still wet on wet but more practiced by the time I got to them.

Trouble getting straight lines to go where I wanted them to go, but the watercolor paint moved around nicely on the Stonehenge White.

This batch was painted on what I call "worst watercolor paper ever,"  and didn't put any color in the wash since I might have gotten messy results on this paper.  My favorite was the one at the top, a lovely metallic gold that ended up shining prettily.  By the time I did these mini paintings, I had scaled down the size I was painting on, and that size started to give me a better sense of an actual landscape instead of one tree.

I painted 24 of these total, I lost track of which ones were painted early in the process. The ones above were painted on cotton quality/good weight watercolor paper,  probably in first batch.  Happiest with the lines I used a ruler to help me as in bottom 2 of the top set. Many of the batch are im competition to get used for a holiday card!

In a few cases, I felt compelled to add a few flowers. These were fun to do, but the constraints were challenging. Few of mine turned out grisly, but usually it was due to the kind of watercolor paint I was using, maybe too opaque or too thick. 

Fun project and super class, Cornelia! I was surprised by how many autumnal colors I used, but can add a few bats and a pumpkin and send them to the grands as my college-age grandson suggested. These will be versatile, and the process was great, Cornelia since you did not determine exactly what to learn,  I appreciated both my learning curve and the fun painting. Also, going no bigger than 6"x4" was good for actually contemplating composition. I learned "more with less" than I expected! 😄

Next Day:

I liked this class and project. Wished to make at least some of my 24 mini-landscape paintings viewable and sharable. I made a bunch of cards in A2 size and mounted them on various bits of scraps I had saved for collage. A greeting can easily be added on the front with room for a note inside! I was quite pleased with the result and mentioned it to a few friends. Decided to share, so here you go! These little pieces are versatile!
