It's the bright cheerful colours that grabbed my attention the most! Add to those shades, a light-hearted feel and a whimsical look, that's where you will find me these days. I have been getting lost in working with higher quality water-colour paints. I picked up a few to try and this is the outcome. When I looked for lessons on blending colours, I came upon a set of fun tutorials. I love this look!
Some of these tutorials were to give ideas on painting home made greeting cards. I will probably not go that route though. The main purpose for me was to learn the wet on wet technique and also blending. I learned how to use a fan brush as you can see in the bottom two birds in the top left painting. I learned lots and I look forward to gaining more knowledge along this path. What I realized is, I now need to buy a few more brushes of various sizes. For now, I am OK with the paper I use, but if this becomes serious, I will need a higher quality of paper too!
They make me smile too!
