today I have been getting used to using different brushes...
and learning about colour washes.
I have had some nice gifts recently. From my neighbour boxes of chocolates and biscuits and flowers and from Anne this really pretty heart crochet bunting to match my new coffee colour scheme in the bedroom(thankyou ever so much Anne), decorating still in progress!
and learning about colour washes.
Looks like you're getting there!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to stretch the paper first.
You really are very talented.....the watercolours look great.
ReplyDeleteYou need to give some painting tutorials!I can't even draw a tree!Great work as always and love the mushrooms and the colours of the irises. Emailed you earlier, did you get it?I used the proper address this time!lol Glad you like the bunting - it looks tiny though - I should've made it bigger!
ReplyDeleteUse masking tape to tape the sheet of paper to a board, along all the edges. Then wet the paper. Then let it dry. Then use it!
ReplyDeleteI love those irises.
ReplyDeleteI agree, so much natural talent Betty!
