Here is my first attempt at the
dsfdf challenge
Here is my second attempt
In response to the feedback I've gotten on my Victorian House (second attempt), let me tell you something. This was my SECOND try! I almost didn't do it because I felt like I needed to move on! But I really wanted to produce something nice for the
dsfdf blog. So I pulled out my trusty
Charles Reid’
book for some inspiration and got to work. AGAIN. Can I get a what what from all the people who hate doing a painting over?
Here is what helped me, a painting by Charles Reid in his book
"Charles Reid'’s Watercolor Secrets" This book has MANY wonderful paintings that can be used for inspiration when you want it to be fast, wet, and loose. Your painting, of course!

It's so interesting to see the different results of the challenge. I, too, constantly turn to my reference books gathered over the years, so I decided to review four of them in my latest post.
