watercolor update

yep, i'm still doing @foxandhazel's "30 days of watercolour" via instagram; which is somewhat idiotic b/c i really DO NOT have any "spare" time at the moment... but it's just soooooo much fun i can't seem to resist. ah well, let's just go with it, kthx. :0

day 11: flower
yes, i've totally put these out of order, just so my favorite one can be on top! 
(je ne regrette rien, mes amies!)

day 9: triangles
started out argyle-ish... ended up alligator-y; it happens...


day 10: mother
yes, i have a lovely mother, but i went in an earth day direction b/c i thought it'd be easier to draw a planet than a person. 
(and i was right!)

day 12: blue
wet-into-wet is my favorite way to play with watercolors. just sayin...

day 13: leaves
most of the time, when i can't decide what to draw or paint, i go with a mandala. sometimes the results are better than others, but this one's not a bad mash-up...

day 14: dots
honestly, i thought this'd be a "gimme" and it turned out to be the hardest one so far... it's more difficult than you think to make NEAT/ROUND dots with a paint brush. who knew??!

day 15: masking
the experiment with the vinyl letters and my name (from the last group) went so well, i wondered if i could make a design out of them. yep. it was fun, too! (there's a flipagram here of the steps, it's kinda cool if you like that sorta thing; depending on how you're viewing this, it may start automatically when you click the link or you might have to press the arrow/play button.)

day 16: black
wondering about the quality of your watercolor paint? try using black. water it down... let it dry... take a good look... for better or for worse, all will be revealed!!! 


♥EVERYONE♥

  3. I did look up the challenge and have played along a bit, just on my own. Thanks for sharing the info, and your art! Your dots turned out awesome, but I think my fave here is the argyle-turned-alligator! You make me laugh!
