| "Juodkrantė" Watercolor on Moulin du Roy, 28 x 38 cm |
This time the subject of may paining is one of the most beautiful places in Lithuania. I was fortunate to spent two vacation weeks here. Oh... there was a huge plan to paint everyday to advance more. Bigger part of a luggage was taken by paining materials and as always only a small part was used. One paining in two weeks is not something, although it's better than nothing :)

Landscape is my favorite subject in
painting watercolor. Nature inspires and probably this is the main force that
drives me to paint. I love watching passing clouds, changing light, running
water, all possible colors and reflections. And although skies and water
usually are the core of a good landscape painting, for me they are the most difficult
objects to portray. But there is a saying “do what you are afraid of” - so I’m trying. Practice is the best
teacher.

Lake landscape

I have
almost written off this painting - the first attempt dissatisfied, I completely
messed up the sky, overworked, which lead to mud where it was not supposed to
be. At the point when all I wanted was to throw a messed sheet of paper away,
said “No” to desperation and decided to give it a try. Washed the colors off
with large water current in the sink and started once more. Then it came. I
cannot say that I’m completely happy about the outcome – it is better – but I’m
happy about the persistence it taught me.
I’ve learned another thing – overworking in a
process of learning is way better than not doing enough. It teaches bravery in
fixing flaws of the painting, applying new techniques, and gives outcomes which
probably would never be possible without going too far.
