Both of these Joan are super! You have inspired me to do some direct watercolors...it really helps to capture the big shapes and not be so tight in our painting. Your beach sketch is making me want to go visit one...it has been a long time since I was at the ocean. Take care and have a great day. Hugs!
Debbie, thanks so much. The direct watercolors help to loosen up a bit, but you can still get a lot of detail if you are patient (I'm not.) and allow it to dry before adding details on top. Enjoy your day!
