Imagine

Learnt this one through Angela Fehr's online course on fluid watercolor painting.

Clicked this picture at a creek by the library. The fresh leaves of early spring on the tree reflected the sunlight beautifully. And here is my attempt to paint it.

This is the view of Preston Road from my window . Very excited about this painting as I clicked the pic myself and then painted it. Is it a big achievement for me. Feel good about sun and all the twilight effect. And also about the little lights on the road and in the buildings at the horizon. I also feel I have got better in getting the pespective and the depth of the picture. The only thing which hasnt come out well is the dark part at the bottom it looks a bit odd. Also the pigment looks very grainy here. At the bottom I have attached the original snap too.

No comparison to Van Gogh's sunflowers, but so far this is my favorite. I love the combination of warm pastel colors in this painting. I learnt the usage of the colors of the same family like green, blue and purple to give a variation to the green background. Also, I figured out how to draw shadows depending on light source and the focal point of the light.  Sun Flowers
