so this guy, Goncalo Ivo, makes the greatest watercolors. he seriously inspired me, and these are the paintings that i made after doing a little artistic research on him.

This last one is my personal favorite. I think it has a pretty strong composition and there are some really nice colors in there as well...

Water Color Still Lifes

So over spring term I took a watercolor class, and these are some of the first things I did. I haven't done any water colors since my junior year in high school...and that was only one painting. So I'm pretty inexperienced. I think in these four still life paintings it's pretty obvious that was trying to make the medium something that it wasn't. In my more recent paintings I feel like I've succeeded in using the medium for it's watery strengths. I'll post those soon.

Until then...
