Eyes of the Savannah

Thank you, Will, for another amazing class filled with your great tips and insights on the painting aspects of watercolor. You always encourage us to express our creativity and personal style, and I think that’s reflected in my painting. What initially attracted me to this class was the emphasis on utilizing white space and the abstract feel of the artwork. However, as I started to paint loosely, I found myself adding more and more detail. I ended up straying from the original concept of creating a loose and abstract piece, and instead, I delved into my usual approach of making a more detailed painting, which kept me more loyal to the sketch than to the abstract concept. Nevertheless, I suppose this process is whats helping me to develope my own personal style. There was something quite mesmerizing about painting the spots, and I really enjoyed it.

Following your suggestion, I created the drawing by taking multiple photos and combining elements from each one. I have been practicing this technique, and I want to thank you for sharing it.
