Review with Landscape Watercolor

Layered landscape
Layered landscape scene, watercolor by Leora Wenger 2014

Haven’t had much time to blog – I was working today (on a Sunday!) and helping my daughter with a school project (about Chana Szenesh), and all of a sudden, it was 5 pm. I started preparing dinner, and now that a few things are warming up I decided it would be a nice time to post the above landscape watercolor, one that is an exercise from One Watercolor a Day.

I look forward to the subscriptions box post as it is about time I pulled out my finger and started a newsletter and creating a list.
The watercolour is lovely, very relaxing.

Becc, ah, maybe this will be an incentive for me to finish my post about mailing lists. After I get more work done ...

Lovely painting! I don't know if that was your intention, but the scene reminds me of the beautiful Judean Mountains around Jerusalem!

You have a great eye! I did it from a photograph of mine of the Galil: a view from Mount Meron.

First of all, thanks for the link.
Lovely landscape--so that is the painting that you based on the photo on the bottom of your Mount Meron post! You are doing some lovely paintings through working through One Watercolor a Day. I also loved the fish and the butterfly.

Thank you and you are welcome!

I fear with Purim and Pesach coming, my watercolor painting projects may need to wait a while. But it is easy to get back into it (at least physically taking out paints and paper is easy).

I so look forward to what you've created, Leora. I find it fun and interesting to see how you use colors an texture to achieve your images. To me, watercolor is much more challenging because it's far less forgiving. You do well with the medium.

Susan, I just keep doing it (watercolor). In part, it's because it takes less prep and less clean up than other media.

I haven't posted any photos lately online but I need to. The class at the rec center was only for five weeks. However, a Paint Like Ross class is being held. I kinda want to take it if hubby will to. What can I say, your blog inspires me.

"your blog inspires me" - ah, magic to my ears. Thank you so much, Jeri. We creative types need to support each other!

What a lovely painting! I like the dotted hills, with the varied colors that illuminate them.

Well, if it helps to know, my week got better. I showed one client a version of his home page, he was happy, and I've been doing work for one of my favorite clients today.

But I couldn't find an ink pen, so I haven't been able to do the next watercolor exercise. I'm planning to borrow one from my friend Jill (my daughter's art teacher), then I'll buy one later.
