Fred Finished!


Now to get him framed and figure out how to make prints!

This was my color break-down and practice sheet.  You can tell towards the end I was getting impatient to start and decided to figure it out as I went along.

I also kept my dabbing/blending scrap pieces, they are pretty onto themselves!

Like doodling in watercolor paint!
I was trying to finish the rocks 

And I snapped a pic of my paints and last palette used.  I learned even though the dabs of paints have dried, if you achieved just the right shade, you can bring it back!

When I visited a local artist's studio, I took pictures of the workspace.
I'm addicted to the "Studios" and "Where Women Create" magazines.  You can tell and learn a lot about a person, an artist, their creativity from how and where they work.

Me?  Sigh.  I also learned if you stir things up enough you can get what you want.  Hmm, kind of a watercolor metaphor for life, yes?
I bought another watercolor paint set as a back up and
for when I need the purer, clean colors.
In the meantime, my used one pretty well defines me, too.  A little bit of this and that!
