This was an interesting venture-- watercolors.

My experiences with watercolors in the past have been more than disastrous! However, my wonderful smart girlfriend convinced me to give it a try again after she showed me the basics and I must say, after a 10 year drought (Yes, I was so intimidated by watercolors that I haven't touched them since I was 11), the resulting painting was a success!

Interesting enough, my oil paintings come out colorful and without the presence of the color black at all. I never use black. Ever.

My watercolors on the other hand come out in gray-scale and illustrate much creepiness.

Strange, no?

Anywho, I had fun making this and I plan on making more things like it in the future. Enjoy!

I'm glad she convinced you to give them a try too! This is awesome, and looks like brush and ink. My favorite part is the octopus!

I HATE using black in my paintings unless it's a gray scale painting too just because it really dulls everything, when you can get vibrant, wonderful darks just by mixing the right colors.
