SELLING OUT SELLING ART

SELLING MY PAINTINGS FOR WHATEVER THEY'RE WORTH

5 Years of Progress in Watercolour Landscapes.

Highlights from my stack of 700 paintings.

watercolor painting — The first painting! My set of watercolours had just arrived in the mail and I dashed off this quick landscape. Is that a mountain or an Aztec temple?

watercolor painting — Kindergarden level achieved!

watercolor painting — How to mix red and green?.

watercolor painting — I guess the house got sunburnt out there in the desert.

watercolor painting — Trying really hard on this one. I even signed it.

watercolor painting — Look at that gigantic windmill!

watercolor painting — Was trying for a typical watercolour cityscape here but its all a bit stiff.

watercolor painting — Followed a tutorial from Bob Davies here. I started watching lots of tutorials.

watercolor painting — I thought I service station would look amazing. Not quite lol.

watercolor painting — My first attempt painting outdoors. This took hours!

watercolor painting — Tried again at home. Slightly better, but poor fundamentals.

watercolor painting — Woah green.

watercolor painting — Painted this from life. Tried three times and this was the best.

watercolor painting — From a photo. Not sure what went wrong.

watercolor painting — Another youtube tutorial. Painted well, but its a bit kitsch.

watercolor painting — That foliage is getting there.

watercolor painting — This was my favourite for a while, despite the muddy colour in the foreground and lack of soft edges in the trees.

watercolor painting — Trying really hard here! Painted this for my grandma- I replaced it with a better one a couple of years later.

watercolor painting — I was really happy with the colour in this one, but the perspective is all messed up!

watercolor painting — Was trying for spooky.

watercolor painting — This was a favourite for a while. I loved the atmosphere and softness. I painted it from someone else's photo though.

watercolor painting — Seemingly forgot about atmostphere and softness. Colour is a bit garish too.

watercolor painting — Nice red door. What is going on with that gate?.

watercolor painting — A milk bar. Looks better here than IRL. Copied from a photo.

watercolor painting — I thought this was perfectly painted when I did it! No blooms or mud.

watercolor painting — Clean colour but boring subject!

watercolor painting — I still like this painting. Copied from someone else's photo though.

watercolor painting — I really liked this one too, though I have no idea what is happening with that power pole. Finally starting to use my own photos.

watercolor painting — Tried to paint as saturated as possible.

watercolor painting — Edges too hard.

watercolor painting — Gloomy scene, but loosening up.

watercolor painting — hmm.

watercolor painting — Pretty clean. Perspective might be a bit weird?.

watercolor painting — Good atmosphere. Composition is a bit dull.

watercolor painting — Painted from life which is always harder.

watercolor painting — I got that path right, but those trees are like big pom poms.

watercolor painting — I still like this even if it is really muddy. Blacks aren't nice in watercolour.

watercolor painting — Same scene, bigger.

watercolor painting — Had a good photo to work with here.

watercolor painting — A bit of creativity in composition. Not good at buildings then... or now.

watercolor painting — Simple, but kinda fresh.

watercolor painting — Still have frequent disasters. This is so overworked and dirty.

watercolor painting — Nice, but could be done with a little more confidence.

watercolor painting — Breaking rules here. Warm in the distance and cool in front.

watercolor painting — Could be nice if I added more colour other than green and brown.

watercolor painting — A little messy in places but I'm still a fan.

watercolor painting — An odd clash of moods.

watercolor painting — Perhaps needs some more things happening in the distance.

watercolor painting — Trees! Values are a little messy.

watercolor painting — Really loosening up, and painting confidently. This was done in 30min.

watercolor painting — Another very quick and confident painting. Looks so much cleaner!

watercolor painting — Back to painstaking.

watercolor painting — Simple

watercolor painting — Good even if its green.

watercolor painting — Almost there. A bit flat?

watercolor painting — Some nice little boats and things.

watercolor painting — Lots going on

watercolor painting — Maybe my best painting. Entered it into an art show and got a Highly Commended

watercolor painting — I still like the dark forests, but this is a little too pretty.

watercolor painting — A big boat painting. I can't do much better than this.

watercolor painting — One of my most recent paintings. Fresh and has some style.

Thanks for taking the time to look through all my crappy old artwork. Hopefully it will be a bit of an inspiration to some. These days I do a lot of oil painting, and will probably do a similar post about my oil painting progress. Please follow me on Instagram @scottzonn if you'd like to see when I release that.

While you're here, please take a look at my weird homepage where I post new paintings in a reverse auction thingy.

Some of the recent paintings can be purchased on the paintings page. For others, please contact me.
