Although this may seem like a New Year's challenge, it's not. I just happened to come up with it right after the new year. In short, I decided to follow along with the various exercises in The Big Book of Painting Nature in Watercolor in an effort to improve my painting skills. Although I do paint quite a few things besides landscapes, many of my subjects involve nature.
The reason I'm using a blog for this exercise is: 1) to have an excuse to document what I'm learning as I complete the exercises, and 2) to provide a place for others who wish to use this book for a similar purpose, to share their discoveries for mutual insight and learning.
