For my color project, I chose to do what I think is the most colorful thing you can possibly find: flowers. These particular flowers are Morning Glories, some of my favorites!
This was my first time working in watercolor (aside from just messing around with them that is.) and I think it turned out nicely. It’s not quite finished yet though, I want going to add something else to it. I considered a faint, pinkish sunrise in the background for a while, but then got the idea of putting in a bird. I think I may do the bird, a Humming Bird perhaps. What do you think?
I liked doing a project on color a lot. It helped me expand my interests to color instead of the usual black and white I find myself drawn to so often. This was a good idea. I am even more exited about our next project; portraits...yay!

Normally I would say to go with the humming bird, but I think I really like the idea of a sunrise in the background. It seems different, and I think it would do the Morning Glories justice. Your water color is amazing, by the way.
P.S. I am totally psyched about the portraits too!
Oh, I have a bunch of lovely morning glories vining their way around my pool. I saw you starting to work on drawing a hummingbird, and I really think you should continue in that direction. The color scheme of a sunset just doesn't really mesh in my mind with the morning glories.
ps. I am NOT excited about the portraits. Humans are too hard.
I would like to begin with saying that I am a big fan of morning glories and enjoy drawing them as well :-)I love how they've turned out and a pink sunrise would go perfectly with them. But then again I saw the painting of your hummingbird the other day in class and was really impressed. So I say do both. Etiher way, I know your going to do it amazingly.
P.S. I'm very nervous about the portraits. I'm not really experienced with people :-(
Wow! This is really pretty. The leaves would probably look better though if you darkened them up a bit (if you haven't already that is). I like the idea of the hummingbird, that would really bring it together.
Yes, more value for the leaves. I like both ideas of the sunrise or a hummingbird. Yes, the hummingbird has been done and is expected, but would work, you have a nice composition that leaves space for either or both ideas.
