Watercolor Paintings

For my birthday, the wife enrolled me in a watercolor class at Furman University. It ended last night, so I thought I’d post some pictures of my paintings. This was my first stab at watercolors since the second grade and my technique was a little rusty. Some of the paintings are out of proportion and I wasn’t very good at letting the white show through. As you might expect, the gallery includes the obligatory Bob Ross landscapes and the clichéd fruit bowl.

If I ever do watercolor painting again, I’ll follow these instructions more closely.
