The water doesn't pool the same way, so what's the point, right? Unless it's purely a compositional sketch, but with watercolor you're always looking for those successful accidents. This would have looked so much better on watercolor paper.

I really like the pale wood frames on watercolor - it brings out the lights. How nice that your friend appreciates your work so much.

It left some blotches in the skyline, but because it was not meticulously done, they don't affect it negatively. I was happy with how it came out framed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564336484656123808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069136441389404420.post-16566579272422901392013-02-17T05:07:24.431-08:002013-02-17T05:07:24.431-08:00I can't see any defects from here, it looks gr...I can't see any defects from here, it looks great!
