In all seriousness, the main reason I painted this was because I was interested in trying my hand at water. It is incredibly complex. I think I faked it reasonably well here, but it's certainly something I want to try more of. I think it becomes one of those skills that you eventually just do it without really looking at anything. Painting much more off of personal knowledge than exacting details. I'll eventually dig up more water photos and have another crack at it.
Again, I'm astonished how much latitude you have with watercolor when compared to digital. The audience is just so much more forgiving of sloppy or low detailed areas than they would be if this was digitally painted. I wonder if the inherent texture of the medium plays a roll in this.
