Adult Student, Leba Abramson, just completed this dramatic seascape using two colors. 

This is a wonderful painting in which to learn about wet-in-wet watercolor techniques.  Also notice the sense of depth that was achieved through aerial perspective. Good job, Leba!

You can never underestimate the power of applying a full range of values to your subject matter.  Value painting is one of the major milestones in learning to create more realistic looking forms. 

Leba Abramson drew this still life from observation. She then used her knowledge of value and applied multiple watercolor washes to achieve the varied textures of the forms in this piece!
Great job, Leba!
