New Watercolor

I did this in watercolor to try out the watercolor crayons my son sent me for Christmas and used them along with the tube paint. I like them! Except for the sky- which did its typical watercolor streaky thing, I was able to get strong colors. I am going to try another watercolor today, a person this time. Just have to figure out who or what.

You said you were going to "try another", so I said "good start" with the one posted here. Sorry.

Yes, I based it on the photo of the Smokies that I used on the cover of my book.

I like it and love the streaky blue of the sky.

Watercolors are difficult for me.

I am not that great with watercolor, but I love experimenting with it.

To me, the sky is the best feature, looks like there is a breeze aloft blowing those clouds around.

You are right, it does look breezy but I did not see that until you pointed it out.
