Creating the story by adding movement and the number of elements in the painting. Years ago I had created this little watercolor of a boat sailing in the sunset.
Floating through the waters it seems rather directionless. I felt it was rather stagnate even though the painting has movement.

In the second painting I aimed for a more loose effect with using watercolors and ink. Loosening the controls allows for more imagination within the painting. The second painting has more depth by permitting the paint to flow where it wants. Thus creating the movement of the sailboats breaking through the waves of the sea. Creating the splashing water was purely accidental as my brush touched the paper mistakenly and I liked it. The colors of yellow, orange and scarlet in the sky flowed where they wanted to as the water provided the vehicle for the pigments to flow.
This painting was created on a 9 x12 watercolor paper , a nibbed pen for inking, my big fat watercolor brushes. Give it a try. Just sit back and watch where the colors flow.
