Hi Steemians
Today was a great day for urban sketching. You see, in my front yard, there are three beautiful trees that only bloom with pink flowers for a short period of time before turning green. It happens only once a year!
So, I always wanted to capture it with art because with when captured with a camera, it misses so much dynamic range information. I never liked it for this exact reason. Heck, I could write a whole article on that, but I'll do that at other time. Mind you, I am just a little obsessed with capturing everything including the colors. Oil paints were what I wanted to use, but for various reasons, I had to put them away for a time being so I pulled out watercolors instead. Here's what I ended up with:
My thoughts: It was fun. Had a little happy (not) accident, but there are no undos with watercolors. Overall, I think it turned out okay despite the fact that the paper I used was cheap in its quality. I think I will invest in better watercolor papers. This splash on the upper right corner was caused by the wind and my brush... doh. I had fountain pens with me thinking I'd draw over it once I'm done, but my guts tell me it isn't needed.
Sorry, no progress shots, it was hot and windy - I just wanted to get it done as soon as possible. Haha. Perhaps next time I will do it. :) What do you think of it? I'd love to hear from you. :)
Thank you all for your support! Much love! ❤️

Aw, thank you @edanya! I'm trying to nail down the fisheye perspective because I hope I will use it more often in my future works. It's a unique experience that even camera can't seem to imitate well... maybe it's just me. shrug

Nice piccar, @dm7 !! Love the fish-eye effect that you've got going here, also, almost feeling as if someone's peering out into the sunny world from inside their house :D So cute !
The "accident" looks like an angel or a deflated balloon...... XD

Aw thank you @veryspider! I like the idea of an angel watching over nature that way. ;) Hahaha. She looks a little deformed though...
I was sitting on a camper's chair in the front of my door so you're not far off. :D
