Obviously, although Jean makes this style of painting look easy, it takes some practice. But it was fun none-the-less.

Day 76 - Crocus
I am a bit behind in posting my sketches as you may have guessed from the fact that I am only on Day 76. This sketch was painted in March when the crocus flowers were just coming up. I was so excited to see color and have flowers to sketch.
I had recently found Jean Haines blog. Jean is a fabulous watercolor artist. Her paintings are loose and colorful and often painted directly without the benefit of an initial line drawing. I am so impressed with how her subjects seem to appear almost magically under her brush that I decided to skip the drawing step with these sketches and play with paint.

Very springlike :) and I think you did a good job without using a linedrawing underneath :)
Thanks Jennifer! I was very happy to be experiencing spring that day, but I think I need more practice with direct painting.
