H2-OH-my-gosh... there's MORE??!

sorry if you're getting thoroughly tired and fed up with watercolor, but the month's* almost over, so bear with me, k? ♥

day 17: squares
may have gotten a teeeeeeeny bit carried away with the doodles... 
(this actually fills a sketchbook page, lol)

day 18: song lyrics
i sing along with the radio or a playlist ALL DAY LONG, 
but if someone says, "write down some song lyrics" i go 
***...utterly blank...*** 

day 19: yellow
hey lauren, didn't you notice that the next day was going to be 'yellow' when you did a bright yellow sun for song lyrics?
(...NO...)

day 20: alcohol
many thanks to @foxandhazel for showing a little demo of a technique of dropping rubbing alcohol onto wet watercolor... and hello, new obsession! 

day 21: purple
eerily enough, this was the totally coincidental, pre-set-far-in-advance prompt on the day that prince died. 

day22: tulip
i was going for a bit of a "realistic" shading effect which realllllllllly didn't turn out AT ALL... so i downshifted into funky illustration mode, lol.

*i've been playing along with @foxandhazel's "30 days of watercolour" via instagram; everyone is welcome to join in --for as many or as few days as they'd like-- and those days COULD take place in may or june instead of april, for that matter!!! i'm finding this to be a great way to stretch my skills and try new things, but it's flexible enough for beginners or even kids who want to try out their paints in a fun way! check out fox and hazel's blog or instagram account for details!
