Mis?Adventures in Watercolor-Done in the dark

Here are a couple more watercolors I did in low lighting.  I was actually pretty stressed when I did them, and you can kind of tell by the brushwork, lol.

In the first one, I was trying to see what kind of dark values/blacks I could get from Pthalo Blue and Quinacridone Violet (not too bad a one, I think), and trying to get a feel of distance by lightening the colors in the distance.

The second was an experiment with water painting--letting a base wash dry, then painting with a wet brush to get a negative effect.  I like the effect, and will be playing with it some more.
