Sunset Lake

Sunset Lake - student project

Watercolor of a sunset over mountains and a lake.  My paper did not like being re-wet (sky).  The color lifted off the paper way too easily.  I used Fluid 100.  I am not impressed with my attempt, but I learned a lot along the way.  Sunset Lake - image 1 - student projectTry #2.  I used Stonehenge Cold Press for this one.  I like my results better since the trees are lighter behind the foreground.  Still overworked in many many places, ugh.  I like the brighter sky and the water reflecting the sun in the first one, but overall, I like the second one better.  I might even try a third time...Sunset Lake - image 2 - student project
