This is my first nature watercolor painting on canvas. I think I did okay, but not as well as I thought I would. I think I would have done better with acrylic or oils.
This was really difficult for me. I'm not completely new to using watercolors on a canvas, but in this specific situation I had to learn new techniques as I drew. You may have noticed that I was struggling a bit with the clouds, colors, and highlights. This is mostly because of the nature of Watercolors. They lift from the canvas when activated by water, unlike acrylics which are resistant.
As I drew more I started to realize more and more. When painting on a canvas I didn't need to just use my brush I could use all types of stuff to get interesting textures. I could, for example outline where my graphite pencil marks were with my watercolor pencils. I could use a sponge for the clouds.
It was an overall good learning experience, but I regret taking so much time on it when I have to get to work on my Halloween art and Inktober. I also have dozens of medium reviews coming up. I have to get busy with all of it. I can't paint for 8 hours right now.
