Adventures in Watercolor

Painting by Vicky Christensen, watercolor on 140 lb. cold press paper, 9 X 12 inches

I decided to mix things up and try painting with watercolors. Until today, other than the painting sessions with the ladies at Birchwood Arbors, I have used watercolor only for underpaintings for pastels. This is my first serious attempt to paint a watercolor landscape. I decided to paint a subject that I had already painted in pastels -- a scene from Giverny in Autumn.

I am happy with how this painting turned out. I know I have a lot to learn, but that's the fun part.
