Unfortunately I didn’t get to participate as much as I’d like to have this year in #World Watercolor Month. But I’m happy to have gotten one last drawing in before it was over yesterday. I’ve been working on this page (i.e.. I sketched it out and promptly forgot about it) for a whole month. I…
#WorldWatercolorMonth
I ♥ Art Supplies
This week has turned out to be a banner week so far. In fact, it makes me think Friday and Saturday may be gold encrusted if my luck holds. The first thing that came down the pike was Sketchbook Skool contacted me and offered me a free course. YAY! I assume many others were also…
When Any Talent You Have…
…seems to have left the building. You know that feeling when you wonder where your inspiration/talent/muse went off to when you were working hard trying to paint something? Why did whatever meager talent you seem to possess not run into your brush today? What the hell happened to that muse you pay so much money…
MacKenzie-Childs Love (#WorldWatercolorMonth)
I’m in love. Nope, not with a person, with a brand. I’ve been jonesing for anything MacKenzie-Childs lately. I especially love their Courtly Check pattern. Who doesn’t love black and white together? Then they add bits and hints of turquoise, teal and a lovely bright green and quin gold to pump up the volume. Their enameled…
Feathering My Nest (#WorldWatercolorMonth)
I haven’t posted for a few days and I’ve filled my time painting feathers. Maybe tomorrow I’ll do a whole bird. ;o) First I thought I’d try some peacock feathers. Although the drawing gave me great hope for the success of this painting, I don’t really think it turned out much like I wanted it…
Finished: Spoon & Tomato (#WorldWatercolorMonth)
This was a really fun one to challenge myself with. I love the mix of the monochromatic spoon and the colorful baby tomato. I have a love of painting fruits and veggies and I also love figuring out the shadows in a black and white photo so this was a fantastic mix for me. I…
Spoon & Tomato Sans Tomato… (#WorldWatercolorMonth)
Just a quick post showing today’s progress for #WorldWatercolorMonth. Thought I’d do a complicated drawing/painting this time. Tomorrow I’ll paint in the tomato. I love doing value drawings and I think this will be so unique with the painted tomato on the spoon. Now all I have to do is wait until tomorrow morning to…
Fly Me To The Moon… (#WorldWatercolorMonth)
It’s #WorldWatercolorMonth (click on the logo to go to the Facebook page) this month and I’m participating everyday celebrating watercolors by painting with them. Today, the lowly fly. He’s kinda colorful and I love the blue-green interaction on his shell. I could however have less hairy legs. He needs a razor, he needs to be…
A Butterfly Flutters By
#WorldWatercolorMonth is all of July. I’m joint in and doing one watercolor painting a day for 31 days. This is day three. I’m keeping up the bug theme for now, I thought I’d try a butterfly but I don’t love how this turned out, it has no “pop”. I’m thinking that’s because there’s no shadow…
Oh To Be A Colorful Beetle (#WorldWatercolorMonth)
I love beetles, but usually not the ones with legs. I covet the ones with tires. I’ve loved the VW Beetle convertible for ever, it’s on my wish list/bucket list. But recently I have seen the light when it comes to some bugs, the ones with legs, I mean. Usually I really, really hate bugs….
