More Watercolor?!

So, of course, the watercoloring continues. All over the place. I do think I'm getting it more and more as I go. I've moved from kindergarden skill level up to, maybe, a junior high schooler. I'm going to attribute this is practice, but I also think it has a little to do with switching from my incredibly old and cheap watercolors (literally 4 of the colors were dried out, including white, which made mixing up some colors sort of a challenge... and both of my greens) to some new, decent quality gouche. I'm starting to like gouche a lot more than watercolor, even if they are barely different.

All the same, rocks and water are freakin' hard. Really. I was making up for the fact that I only did 1 watercolor for Monday by doing three for today, including a landscape, which I've really been avoiding. And I happened to choose CLIFFS over the OCEAN. Rocks and water.... hey, I tried.

So then I transitioned back to things. I've been so craving Mexican, but don't want to spend the money on food, so that leaves me to just continue wanting it. Hence, me painting it. Weird. Background overwhelms it. Not a fan

And finally, I went for this fish. It had some neat sheen on it, so I though, hey, why  not work on a little highlighting here and there. I definitely overworked some of the inside a little big, but all the same, it's my favorite one of the set. I do sort of wish I would've thrown a little line art-scale action in there just for kicks, but hey, whatcha gonna do.
