Brisons Veor - Palettes

I'm on my third day of my artist's residency at Brisons Veor in Cape Cornwall,  England.  I have horrible jet lag and don't seem to be sleeping at all.  Although I'm feeling under the weather I truly want to be productive.

I left the beautiful house on the sea at around 2:15 pm today to take a walk up the hill to the nearby town of St. Just.  I thought maybe if I got moving a bit more I might sleep better tonight.   The colors are so interesting here that I decided to do a few digital palette studies from some of the photos I took on the walk. 

There's palettes are not definitive.  They are just quick studies that could use a lot more refinement.  All the colors and the light is so different from California.  I'm not sure what I will do with these palettes but I thought I should make them. Here they are.

Tall Ships - Messing Around with watercolors

Watercolors aren't my strong suite.  But here I am messing around with them for a class I have been taking called Painting Sea and Sky.  I need to do a lot more work to get comfortable with watercolors.  Right now I prefer gouache.
