Oh how I wish I had more time to play with this medium I am growing to adore! I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Here are a few wildly varied samples of what I played around with this week with drawing and watercoloring.
Do you have a favorite?
Thanks for visiting!
Cheers & Hugs,

Do you mean did I sketch it out in pencil first before painting? If so, yes – I lightly sketched out the basic flower shapes.

Jodi, love how you are excited about watercoloring. I like the first because the red pops, and it’s my favorite color. I like the second because it’s happy. The flowers are smiling with outstretched arms. I like the third because it’s whimsical & has bold colors. Look forward to more…Christine

I like all three. Which one did you get the most satisfaction from or were the least critical of? One of the three shows off your creativity and that’s the one I most admire.

I think I got most satisfaction from the first one. Are you talking about the third as the most creative?? It was really loose and fun and easy, but I think it is a little “elementary” looking…. (and I almost didn’t post it…

The key words here are loose, fun and easy and as far as elementary goes…..trust me most elementary students don’t produce work of this caliber. Having said that I do like all of them. Keep experimenting!
