Loose Watercolor

March 23, 2023

Loose watercolor is when you don't paint exactly what you see and intentionally leave out details. Loose painting is also known as painterly. It is a style that is more expressive and about feeling than detail. I've started to play around with this style and I think I really like it. Watercolor is hard to control and loose watercolor is out of control sort of, I can wrap my head around it little bit easier than to try to be so controlled and precise with watercolor. I'm loving how easy and pretty these flower came out! I learned three different type of roses to do. I like the 1st one and 2nd one the best. I blurred the background and then added the tree. I like the background, I still need to work on the tree some but I think the idea is cool! watercolor and gouache

I will turn these waves to color, let them spill across the page and watch them fade into the distance.

Even my first encounter with the ocean in Malibu left me in awe of its soothing rhythm. There is something inherently calming about water, whether it's the sound of waves crashing or the sight of a tranquil lake. In a hectic world, water serves as a reminder to slow down and appreciate life's simple beauty. Whether it's taking a leisurely stroll along the beach or simply listening to the gentle patter of rain against the window, water always brings peace to my soul. One of my most cherished memories is the first time I encountered the ocean at 35 during a trip to Malibu. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was like music to my ears, and the sight of endless blue stretching out before me left me in awe. Water has a special place in my heart—a source of tranquility and solace in a busy world. Its gentle rhyt...
