Wooden Boat On The Shore
Okay, this isn't a drawing so maybe I shouldn't have included this, but it was my very first attempt at the next step - using Watercolour.
I took my little boy, his friend and our dog to the beach and came across an old wooden boat on the shore. It was along the same stretch of beach that my Nan, who has now passed away, used to take myself and my sister for walks when we were little. We used to search for slipper shells.
I sketched the scene and then took it home to paint. I had got myself some Watercolours some time before but had always been scared of using them since I knew nothing about painting other than what I had learned by reading various books.
Although it is littered with mistakes, I learned so much from doing it and I enjoyed every brush stroke!
Note from Admin:
Hi Sandra,
I think this is fantastic! For your very first attempt at watercolor, I am absolutely in awe of your talent.
This painting also shows that your sketching skills must be pretty good!
