Learning Zbukvic

Tags: , , , ,
Some time ago here, at Wet Canvas, I read and copy/pasted the interesting info about Zbukvic's book "Mastering Mood and Atmosphere in watercolor" and his painting method.
Here are my attempts to show mood and to control watercolor, based on and inspired by the book.
Long road of learning is still ahead.

    Your work is lovely - and atmospheric. Watercolor has a mind of its own but you handle it very well!
