Peony in Watercolor
A great adventure for a three day weekend
My stash of Kilimanjaro watercolor paper has been calling
Wendy Sinclair has kindly shared so many photos for Artists to use as reference
and this white peony is a favorite.
I used it for a smaller version but now want to explore painting on a larger scale
half sheet and frame at 18x24
Toying with the idea of planting Peonies in my yard
but until that happens
will plant a few on my walls
This will last a bit longer than the real one
and bring a little outside in
Almost done...
Ready to mat and frame...
and hang!

pink sun
bigger is more fun
11x15 watercolor flower macro
from my own reference photo
using large brushes is much better when you pull out the large palette :D

trying something new
Picked up some Faber Castell Gelatos to try out.
They match my Pitt Pens and Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils
so I thought they would be a fun thing to add to my supplies.

I tried making a color chart with a waterbrush and the creamy gelato sticks but didn't like the result.
Using them like crayons is a bit heavy handed. Thanks to KD Sams, I put them on my craft mat and redid the color chart. Richer color with control!
Using gelatos, pitt pen and watercolor pencil together was fun.
Then I tried to Glaze for a sealed product and ruined most of the work.
I suspect the mica paint touches and watercolor pencil were the culprits that smeared.
Looking forward to more play...

alcohol was involved
Yes, alcohol was involved
and salt
No, I didn't paint this while drinking a Margarita
but it's not a bad idea
A Paint My Photo Challenge
for background.
Thank You

Day Seventeen! - 30 paintings in 30 days
In the window
...looking around for something to paint
this orchid is one of two
in bloom in my kitchen
with chilly and foggy weather outside
I figured I'd share this little bit of
sunshine!
Trying to keep up with you Leslie Saeta!

Mixed Feelings
Shells
Starfish
Sunflower
I stink at collage/mixed media work
so I was eager to take the Strathmore Workshop
on card making
for ideas and pointers on how to...
I guess it's not my favorite thing
but I will keep on
to see if I can find my niche
