The month of June is when many watercolorists around the world participate in the 30×30 Direct Watercolor Challenge, created by Marc Homes and Uma Kelker.
Rules are simple:  Each day post one watercolor,
but no sketching, no inking, no pencil, just straight watercolor.

Here is the entire page.  I often show my color mixes on the side
or on the page across from my watercolor sketches.

I did the sketch on the left, but decided to have some fun with this @landscapeartclub image—changed things up. I wanted a bright red instead of the white boat.

I also pushed to experiment with how to paint the canal water, so after I completed it I came back and doused the entire canal area to make the water kind of runny.  Not completely happy with it but as with many sketch-book thangs it is an experiment.
I will continue to try it until I get the hang of it.
