I'm reading several watercolor instruction books. One of them was specifically geared towards painting by photograph. Another was saying how important it was not to paint from photographs. That book guilted me into trying to paint outside. The first two attempts in my backyard (it's much harder, by the way, to get all the equipment and find the nap time to get some painting done outside) were pitiful. The photograph of this painting makes it look better than it does in real life. This was a pot of lantana that's growing over in our backyard. It got me a bit discouraged about painting for a couple days, but then Ben bought me new watercolor brushes and it sort of gave me my second wind and I was able to paint this next one that I really like!
