I got so behind posting paintings done on the 30x30DirectWatercolor challenge, I'm just dumping a whole bunch here, otherwise I'll never catch up!
One or two intersected with other online challenges - Virginia Hein's Usktalk about applying explosive colour before painting just enough of the image to make it recognisable (the chairs) and international sketch-a-chicken week (irresistible!) and Suhita Shirodkar's 'Start with What If...' (What if I looked through a glass of water)
These aren't all of them, just some on the home and garden theme, which is of course the most available subject while under lockdown - I didn't manage 30, but was happy to have kept up quite a steady pace. I felt like I was getting a grip on how to get started, and use more expressive, less fussy brushstrokes as I went along. (The first ones are at the bottom, more-or-less more recent ones towards the top.) July is International Watercolour Month, apparently, so I think I must carry on while I'm on a roll - trying to curb my natural tendency to switch to something different just as I feel I'm making progress!

Lovely paintings, Cathy. Keep up wonderful work!! Best wishes, Sadami
Oh, these are wonderful and I can’t pick a favorite - sounds like your are keeping your creativity going while isolating and you have a gorgeous garden as a model!
So lucky to have a garden Rhonda...it's in need of some TLC but always provides something to paint! Thanks Ginny and Sadami for visiting!
Lovely selection of lockdown artworks!
