WCW050, The Hottest of Days

Photo Details

Poster: Benzi

Linda gave us a wonderful tutorial for the WCW challenge this week: WCW050-5/12/21-Little known watercolor painting technique by Holstein at Splitcoaststampers

This is the challenge we are using to paint our scenes: It is about achieving depth in your watercoloring.

I needed a card for a gentleman at church and I am sure he will love receiving some mail.

It's a fun challenge and we hope you will join us this week. We were so glad to see some new members joining us last week.

Beautiful depth achieved here, Brenda! Lovely sun, even though it's a super hot day. A special card for your church friend. Most people enjoy receiving snail mail since modern technology has taken over~

Hottest of days, indeed! You really captured the feel of the summer's heat. Beautiful job of layering your various shades of yellow, too, to add depth and interest to your scene.

You really did a spectacular job with this challenge, Brenda. Like the Impressionists...you captured the ATMOSPHERE. In this case, heat!!

Your abstract approach with the colors and details show a strong feeling of depth in the card.
