"Looking Down" ( water colour ). Dec. 17. 2010.

I am determined to get the background right.. so at it again. I was up on google watching videos.. of background washes. Starting to get the idea, but it is delicate.. how much water to how much paint.. how wet should the paper be.. how fast the stroke.. you get the idea...

Learned how to mix a rich grey too.. thanks to google.  Sometimes it is good to ask those who have been doing this for years and years.



and this is the photograph.  I saw this out my kitchen window one morning.  I  am looking down on it, and that is the road below.
