The next week I wanted to try the same painting (done in water soluble oils) in water colors. Compare to the one below. I think I like the oil better because it resembles the photo more closely -- deeper hues -- more intense. I somehow just don't "get" the way to layer watercolors to get the vibrant colors I'd like -- and I have to admit, I just don't practice like I should. I have so many other arts and crafts interests and I'm impatient! Bad combination.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING THESE FABULOUS MOUNTAIN AND SKY PICTUREs??? THIS IS MY FAVORITE (AND THE ONE WITH PINK ABOVE) --- AND THEY'RE INCREDIBLE!!! IT LOOKS LIKE OIL IS YOUR MEDIUM!! FANTASTIC WORK!
This is my favorite of the mountains and forrest scenes. It's the water colors, I know!! They're all so realistic.
