Speed Illustration - Watercolor and Ink

I'm planning on working this some more with ink and paint.  Somehow things that I create straight from my mind never turn out the way I intended and always with less detail >_< It's strange that I can draw nearly photo-realistically with a reference, but cannot for the life of me create something the way I envision it.  This WILL be worked on, and hopefully improved:))))

Sci Fi Watercolor - Time Lapse Video

For this painting, I used watercolor, acrylic and charcoal, as well as ink for the outline (really just sharpie). I uploaded this video to youtube, and when I initially tried to share it to my blog my computer, apparently overloaded, flung itself into a state of catatonia.  Well, that's what it wanted me to think, as I clicked and clicked. Oh, but no, it wasn't just doing nuthin'...nuh uh...it was posting 4 identical posts on my blog. >< I didn't know until this morning...asldjflkdjf

Anyway, it's all good.  This piece didn't take me too long, I was really just experimenting with this style, and made it into a time lapse video / speed painting for all to see:) Enjoy

Calm Waters boat painting

I can't help but to think that writing anything with these paintings is futile....because I know you just want to see the pretty pictures.  Well, to feed you visually hungry people, I've just finished another painting.

Below is the preliminary sketch, directly on the canvas, along with the completed work.
