2 new water color paintings

I'm a student in water media, in my second 7-week class (ever). These are two new paintings I made. I am not sure if they are done. Each is teaching a particular technique. The barn scene is teaching to use the paper for whites. The crassula leaves are working with shadow, texture, and gradient. I hope someday to be able to put all the things I learn together as needed to make enjoyable paintings. I say enjoyable, because the important thing is that I enjoy it. (Otherwise, why bother?)
