Goals for Watercolor Challenge Class

Gain confidence painting my own creations rather than only following tutorials.
Become looser in my approach.
Tackle some practical challenges -- how to keep paint moist on the paper in dry humidity; how to mix paints more effectively on my palette and on the paper; how to select the best brush for a specific effect.

Day 18:

Final project. I did upside-down drawing, painting with dagger brush (most of it), and chromatic palette. Maybe too primary?
