Trying to learn #watercolor. So fun, but so hard without natural talent. Made this account to post my paintings so I don't annoy the followers on my main account.
It's in Brooklyn until early Feb.

I really really don't. I've been doing this every single day for five years and I have only improved marginally. I met a guy this summer who was in his 70s, never painted or drew before, and after four months his watercolors are professional grade. Just lovely. That guy has natural talent!

But so many nearly identical views of the GC

I'll never understand why his oils are more famous.

Whistler, however, leaves me cold. Who goes to Venice and sees brown, brown, unrelenting brown?

The Monets were nice too.

Sargent’s Bridge of Sighs watercolor. He painted from the water and included the prow of his gondola.

Sigh indeed. I got to stare at it for ages!

And yes, Sargent watercolors of Venice! (This was worth all the Monets in my book)

Sargent’s “Church of St Stae” normally in a private collection and not viewable at all.

This is what my camera roll looks like

Giacometti shadows! I will always think of them this way now. I’ve been entranced by them this year for some reason.

I’m obsessed! Is it the time of year?

I know this spot well and it looks exactly the same right now
