watercolor second try .. a little bit better

I did this from a photo I took last week, using the Winsor & Newton Cotman water color compact set. It has fourteen colors but I only ended up using about 1/2 of them for this pic. Colors in the set include: Lemon Yellow Hue, Cadmium Yellow Hue, Cadmium Red Pale Hue, Cadmium Red Hue, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Purple Lake, Ultramarine, Cerulean Blue Hue, Sap Green, Viridian Hue, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber and Chinese White
I used the Grumbacher miskit liquid frisket for masking which I really didn't have to use but made it easier because I had no idea how I was going to paint the picture... with water color you have to plan ahead.. which I realy didn't do.. I just wanted to paint... and yep that was duct tape.. not recommended but it was too late to go out and buy tape. (just roll it out on material many times before applying it to paper)

I like this one, it means something to me. ITs resembles time and uncontrolable change (seasons and natures powers with the strong colours). The train track reminds me of the place I picked blackberries & when I first met my partner, we walked past a train track (not used) & he is 24 yrs older than me, so time is important. The train track looks so lonely & I have no idea of getting to know what is around the corner, its scary but exciting. I wish I could see the future, even tho spoils fun.

@Catherine8raw wow, you got alot out of that, and you are right the tracks in the distance make a bend, cut into the mountains so there are dark walls of rock on either side and it is kind of spooky and I never went any further because I didn't have my big dog with me. (I don't fear the bears and wild cats, but it's the backwoods people that sometimes are not friendly)

Oh, did I. Well I am clairvoyant, i should not say, but I think I am a prat, but it is others that say I am right, I got one lady nodding like their was something wrong with her. i thought she would damage her neck, LOL! I usually feel more psychic when I just relax, have a big stuff up on chocolate (I do not eat this now, so it would be nuts!) I am nuts. Anyway, I just forget everything that make me stiffen up and let go, I do not make strange om noises or act like a dork, I just am.

@Catherine8raw interesting, and glad you don't make funny noises, sounds as if you where born a sensitive or empath.

@Catherine8raw also there are lots of blackberry along the tracks.

@AutumnSplendors ty for your comment, it is of course very helpful, and you are right, there is no composition, and just a boring predictable subject, but it was a start and am glad that you can tell those are railroad tracks.

I told my Mum when the bus was coming seconds before it came, when I was 3years old, I was born a hungry baby, one nurse said I was the hungriest baby she had seen in 3 years & also, I knicked chocolate/sweets out of peoples school bags when I was 8ish I prayed to God to help me stop being a klaptermaniac but It did not work untill I stopped taking the vitamins Mum gave me (vitamin B6, removed the allergy via NAET!). Later years did Reiki and suddenly was more clairvoyant, binge eater, student.

I remember having a huge blackberry binge over a few weeks. I even went on a blackberry feast for 1 week and saved £98 food bill. I froze some for later on in the year too. There amazing, full of calcium and vitamin C, flavonoids, and unfortunately, maggetss, untill you put them in water.

Well get the light spot on a pictur squinting is a trick.....but with an utumn scenario...is really hard...probably the right way is to simplify the composition....yesterday evening i did it...i wiil post you a short video just to let you understand how hard utum is for me...
