Moon on the Lake

This is a picture of moonlight on the water. It shows the moon reflecting on calm water, and the mountain also has a slight reflection. The colours I used for this painting were: Phthalo blue, Ultramarine, Crimson, Permanent Green, Ivory Black and Medium Yellow. To darken the blue, I used a little Ivory Black. Please rate this picture. (eg,***** = 5 star)

Waves on rocks

This is the first painting I have done since I got some new paints. (for my 11th birthday, in July.)
I did it from a painting in a book; '' Painting Mood and Atmosphere '' by Barry Herniman.

Parrots playing in the ferns

Here is a photo hot off the press (or the artist's workbench) of three parrots playing in a pile of ferns. The watercolors are very vivid in this painting, and the colors reflect a tropical scene well.

The Courbette - Horse and Rider

Horse and Rider performing "The Courbette"

The "Courbette"
This is a painting of a horse and rider performing the "Courbette" movement, where "the horse balances on its hindlegs and jumps, keeping its forelegs off the ground, thus it "hops" on its hindlegs" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_dressage). The crowd in the background is simply drawn as a collection of small dots, whereas the horse and rider are painted in more exquisite detail.
