Petunia Practice


Practicing for an upcoming watercolor workshop I will be attending.  This one started out a little too casual, as you'll see in the first frame of the GIF below...I got serious about it on the second or third wash, gave it my all, and I believe it ended up as a decent painting.  The petunias themselves I am most proud of, the background I'm not so sure about.  Lesson learned: take the painting seriously from start to finish, even if it's "just practice".


The watercolor workshop in question is hosted by TLC Workshops, a wonderful little program that takes place in Bothell, WA.  They bring professional illustrators and artists in to teach workshops over the course of several days.  Give them a try if you're interested in a small-class (ten to fifteen people) setting for learning illustration.
