May Watercolor Card

In this video I show how I painted a scene from an old photograph that I took in the Idaho mountains sometime in the mid-1990’s. The color on the photo is ok, the photo is ok, nothing about screams amazing. To use it for a painting however it is perfect. Go through your old photos, make a folder on your computer of images that inspire you to be creative.

When you paint, draw or making anything creative, it is your world you are creating and your own rules apply. Saturate the color so it’s more intense, change the perspective, what ever makes you happy with the work. Grab your color wheel and use it to make a great piece of art! This painting was made using four colors and a blackish color.
