Here is a look at a painting I did, just for the sake of the doing. I got a new watercolor paint color from my FAVORITE art supplier, Daniel Smith (http://danielsmith.com/). It was called "Undersea Green", and you can see from this painting why. I used mostly green, grey and then a light touch of Veridian (red) for contrast.
This is 8x10" on 300 lbs. hot pressed watercolor paper.
As an artist, I cannot stress enough, get the very best supplies you can afford. If you don't follow this advice, you will forever be fighting a bad brush, cheap paint, or the wrong nib... rather than letting your talent stretch, and having the line, color and stroke be exactly as you want the first time, every time.
And as always, you can see a handy gallery of my work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/patricedeavila/
... be inspired.
