The Blue Door


 Here's my attempt to follow a wonderful tutorial by artist Paul Clark, "The Blue Door." With some difficulty I painted on an old piece of Arches watercolor paper, using Winsor Newton Cotman tube paints. My technique has suffered from using this old paper, but I do like it. I will have to try again on different paper, one day.

As usual Clark's instruction is flauless and informational. Being able to stop and rewind or pause the instruction is always a plus.

It may not be my best painting, but I did enjoy painting it and like the old vintage look of the piece.
