Continuing the dragon series, this is called "Mountain Morning." I worked on this a little about a month ago, and I loved the shadows and lines so much that I got painter's block! I had to leave it propped up for weeks, just looking at it, before I knew what to do next. Even then it was baby steps, and a lot of looking. If I look long enough often enough, a painting will tell me where its flaws are.
Mountain Morning. 16x22". Watercolor. $250. SOLD.
I also developed a new technique for myself: I take a photo of the work-in-progress, and then print a few copies of it on my black-and-white printer. I can see the values better in B&W. Then I can play with the printouts using a pencil, and see where to add darker values or pick out a light value. Fun.
