Painting Pictures

I did some more painting yesterday. I finished up the 11" x 14" watercolor landscape experiment - It started out as a watercolor, but I kept on adding acrylics to get the look I wanted, and now it's more acrylic than watercolor. Tried another watercolor last night - bare branches against a cloudy sky that I saw outside my window. Did the background in watercolor and the branches in acrylic - but now the branches are too dark against the watercolor background. So maybe I'll add watercolor leaves to hide the branches, then try again all watercolors. Sigh! I am not getting the results I wanted, but I want to keep trying, until I get something good. Or good enough to satisfy me.
