I have been thinking lately to practicing more expressive brush marks while painting with watercolor. Watercolor can be tricky at times and certain results are hard to achieve. In these two quick exercises, the aim was to use the brush directly in a calligraphic way to define forms and not blend too much between the strokes so that brush marks can be more visible giving a textural look. The downside of this may be of showing off too much unwanted marks ending with a feel of overwork. These are done on cartridge paper. The two studies done above are between 5-7 minutes and the colors were put down and let to blend on the paper itself.

This sketch is done in similar approach
with bold and loose directional brush strokes to create marks attempting
textural results. Any surface detailing is not the concern
of this exercise, instead it's the broken brushstrokes of different
values and colors I was looking for to define volumes. On the right are
the brushes used for this sketch. The sketching time for this one is
30 min. approx.

In the above image, you can notice the simple setup for this quick watercolor sketch. Keep the subject
near the window and pickup the sketchbook and color.
