The more I learn....

waterclr.gifSeems like the more I study these watercolor books, the more there is to learn. It was the same when my Chinese painting teachers had me hold the brush near the far end and paint with my whole arm. They practiced it for a lifetime, but were able to pass on a little knowledge to this clumsy pupil.
I painted this sketch as simply and quickly as I could while still identifying the subject. Feels like walking on water, almost — it's hard to trust something that seems so unstable beneath you. The Master's hand would be most welcome now.... - lec
