Little Watercolor House

Dreaming of Home

When I began watercoloring, only a few weeks ago, I was given a nice piece of watercolor paper to use, courtesy of our instructor.  Jim started us out using basic and  familiar techniques(I write about this a bit more in my post, Jim Street, Watercolor Workshop), wet on wet, painting a sky,dropping color, dry brushing, and so on, and this house is on the side of the paper where I first began.  I couldn't bear to throw the paper away, so I decided to try to "make" something of it, just to practice.  It is, part of a bigger scene, I started out with a floating head, and added the house to the bottom.

I call it, "Dreaming of Home", I cannot decide if her head is in the clouds, or she's lying on a pillow, which begs the question, where's the rest of her body, or if she has one of those winter coats with the fuzzy hood and the bottom is part of it.  That's remains to be decided, as I go along.
