'Trinidad Beach Scene' By Steve Porter

Watercolors have a beautiful color intensity when they are wet , and then when they dry they flatten out and you wonder 'what happened , I thought it looked pretty good '. So i usually push the color and in this case maybe too much , but i liked it .

  1. What ever you did by 'pushing the color', you created an amazing sense of light in this piece. Really beautiful.

  4. Yah, the color is working great from what I see, but that is a digital interpretation, expressed in light of a dry watercolor....

    I usually like the colors bumped up a bit in intensity, in a painting.

  5. Yes a digital interpretation as is a dry watercolor under glass which gives a very similar enhanced look
