I've been experimenting with watercolor recently, because all I ever do I sketch and someone suggested I try this.

The first two didn't fit in my scanner very well, so they're kind of warped, especially the first one.  I'm not sure of exactly how big they are, but I can get the measurements if anyone wants them.

Lighthouse/Beach
I would like to completely blame the scanner... but the lighthouse already had the lean going on.

Snow Mountain
I liked away the actual mountain turned out, but had some...eh... brush issues in the sky. lol

Arabian Horse
This is probably my favourite, but perhaps my horse-loving is making me biased. =P

Hi Mo,
I like all three of your paintings. Your ability to capture movement in the 'Arabian Horse' painting is very good. Did you paint this from a picture? Painting in watercolor takes a lot of forethought and planning as mistakes may be impossible to fix and as a result it's not a medium I'm to happy working with as I make to many mistakes that need correcting.

Leaning lighthouse aside....I think that the 1st one is actually my favorite. But I agree with Leon....you did a great job in capturing the movement of the horse.
