Ugh hurry up already....

Ok so I think I mentioned that my Portugal cafe painting was going to take a while. It's big (18x24) and has a LOT going on in every corner of it practically. So I knew what I was getting into. But everytime there is a massive undertaking like this I have to take a break every once in a while. So today I did a few practice skies which are always fun. They are excercises from my new watercolor book "Quick and Clever Landscapes" by Charles Evans. I think I mentioned him once before, but let me say again, he is ah-mazing! Check out his website here:

He hosts a painting show in TV that I love, so I bought one of his books and it is great. Since I'm not taking formal lessons at the moment I try to learn in other ways so that's where my practice skies come in!

But now it is back to the Portugal pic, I really need to wrap it up. I haven't finished a painting since April 11! I get annoyed if it takes more than 2 weeks... so back to work!
