Virtual Paintout - Lithuania!

I just realized I didn't post my entries for The Virtual Paintout for March.  It's the end of April so I'm a little behind!  To participate, artists must use Google Street View to find their view to paint.  The Virtual Paintout is run by artist Bill Guffey.  He selects the month's location and posts all of the entries on his blog and on Facebook.  It's really a lot of fun and I look forward to browsing places I'll never see otherwise and also trying a watercolor.  It's also neat to see the locations other artists have found and their paintings.

The location for March 2013 was in Lithuania.  I tried a watercolor and also a gouache, both small pieces, 5x7".  It seems I'm always running short of time at the end of the month when I need to complete some paintings.  It's time this month to get my paintings for April done! 

5" x 7" watercolor

5" x 7" gouache

  1. Both of these are lovely Sherry but I particularly like the colour combinations in the lower gouche one. Beautiful strong light achieved there.

  3. Sherry, another two great paintings. I love how you endeavor to do a watercolor AND a gouache. You are getting quite fluent in both! You really captured the light so well in each one.
