Connecticut River


Today a group of my friends and I went to the Connecticut River to work on either watercolor sketches or photography. I worked on watercolor.
It was a chilly evening. Even at close to 40 degrees I still felt freezing. At first I felt miserable because my nose kept running and it was snowy, muddy and slippery. I'm also not familiar with watercolors so it was difficult to get the hang of them.
I don't think I made very successful pieces during the trip, but at least I got a taste of what it will be like in Sicily! (Hopefully not as cold though).

Positive:
  • I was prepared with all my watercolors, brushes, paper, towels, water, etc. 
  • I labeled my colors so I would know where they are in my box (minus the blue because I couldn't tell which blue was which). 
Negative: 
  • The size of the paper (10x10) was awkward to work with. 
  • Keeping water in the spray bottle wasn't as effective as I thought it would be. 
  • The masking tape kept ripping.
