I wanted to raise the bar on my watercoloring--- so I took on a difficult image to paint.
NEON!
and cars!
and reflection!
I love the Chinese Take Out up the street from my studio. While I was waiting for my order-- I noticed the bright neon sign in the window. It was gray outside--- so the colors in the neon were quite vibrant.
I took it upon myself to photograph-- and store the idea away to paint.
Here is my first stab at it!
It needs to be tweaked-- and I will do that in the next few days.
But for now... here is the 'first state'.
