It’s rare I do landscapes because it feels overwhelming to capture the essence of the great outdoors. I am typically caught up in the details and in this painting I captured the scene with very little detail. 🙂 View

    Hi Bekki, thank you for the kind words! I would say Moulin-du Roy is a bit less sized than Arches or Fabriano. It’s a great medium priced watercolor block but I treasure my Arches blocks!

    When I was in grade school, I used to enjoy cutting out silhouettes from a sheet of black paper. I like silhouettes because of their dramatic simplicity. A silhouette breaks down a subject into its simplest form

      Great project! Thanks so much. sA homechooling bird sillouhette project was my first hook into the world of watercolor. Im curious about Moulin du Roy–how would it compare to Arches or Fabriano?
