Oh its going to be a long road

I'm begoinning to like watercolors.. I especially like how I can set at the dining table and paint and not be a leper in the third bedroom... and no more complaints about the smell.

But its a journey.. its not as easy as it looks.  I bought a tutorial DVD from John  Lovett and started some of the exercises... He makes it look so easy (I suppose that has something to do with being at it for 30 odd years).

His exercises start off pretty simple and get harder, introducing new techniques as he goes.  Its a pretty good tutorial.  The first was to learn basic technique.  Its was of a tap.. yes a tap.  Here is my attempt at a tap.

Compare it to John's original....

I guess I just have to keep trying... I don't have 30 years so I better get crackin hey!
