#watercolour #watercolor Here’s a 7 minute sketch of my neighbor’s house and garden, using a new sketch board that I made for the #watercolourchallenge1. I’m so happy to have this wonderful view. Brush:8 round, plus a credit card. Colors: Phthalo Blue, Quin Rose, Pyrrol Scarlet, Hansa, Burnt Sienna. This was fast and fun! Enjoy!

#watercolourchallenge1 Well, here’s my first attempt, a 7minute painting. It’s a block of historic buildings in my small town. I’m used to painting slowly and with more detail, so I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I made a new watercolor board for this, so I can do more urban sketches.

#watercolourchallenge1 Well, here’s my first attempt, about 7 minutes. I’m used to painting much slower and with more detail, so I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! Anyway, this is a block of historic buildings in my little town.

For years, cartooning (and to a degree, acting and music) were my only forms of art, so it has been fun to find this community with Curator Prompts that have literally prompted me to try different things.

Case in point, here’s my #1minutesketch for the #watercolourchallenge1
…a two-for-one!

I’ve never put a time limit on my drawings so 60 seconds (ok… 90 seconds) was a challenge! The splash of watercolor certainly helps.
Technically wonky? Sure, but for me, the simplicity is refreshing.

Tried my hand at #watercolourchallenge1 This took me about 10 minutes total. I kind of like how the sketch turned out, but the paint seems uninteresting and the values are off. I’m not used to painting white buildings. Had fun though. #CuratorPrompts148 #Watercolor #MastoArt

I don’t often sketch in pencil or pen, I like to sketch in watercolour. These three took about 20 minutes total.

Total size 125*190mm. If these weren’t speed sketches I would have let the water dry - hence the dodgy car and various spreads, but the aim is to commit to paper not stop and think too long, record what you see.

@ianjago @welshpixie Done! What a wonderful idea! First I wanted to spend one minute each for coloring but then I realized that it makes more sense to spend one minute each color for all four pictures. So I needed around one minute for greens, one for shadows, one for special stuff in red and yellow and the last one for a second round of green and shadow. That was fun! Thank you both!

Another fabulous #WatercolourChallenge1 from @welshpixie

She’ll tell you otherwise, but clearly a secret watercolourist! Lovely little picture.

@stadtwaldt @welshpixie
Very nice.
Splash a bit of watercolour on and you’ve completed #WatercolourChallenge #WatercolourChallenge1 😀

@welshpixie quick off the mark with the first #WatercolourChallenge #WatercolourChallenge1 response! I don’t think she sucks at all - it’s lovely, colourful and fun.

@MostlyDrawing It most definitely would - well spotted. I was too busy concentrating on getting the character count down to 500 😂

Please do - even if it’s a 1 minute sketch and 1 minute splashing on your favourite colours.
Personally, I’ve never done a 1 minute sketch, so that’s my challenge.

@WatercolourCurator Would it be a good idea to number them like the other prompts? e.g. #WatercolourChallenge1 ? I'm hoping to have time to give this a shot.
