Misty Marina


No, she isn’t one of my Superheroes, this is the name of my latest watercolour, based on a random photograph spotted on th’internet.

I only used two colours with this one, black and a greeny-blue – there were also splashes of red and yellow in the photo, but I decided to leave them out. (And I really must learn the proper names to these colours. Time will help there, I’m sure!)

One of the above photos was taken with the flash on, the other wasn’t. I can’t for the life of me say which is which, but the second one seems a little crisper, so maybe it was that one with the flash.

They are both the same painting. And they are it is for #WorldWatercolorMonth. Four out of four now…

    I really,really like this. As for the name of colors they will probably change before we learn them.

    It is a beautiful watercolor. You did exceptionally well with only two colors.
