The colors remaining in my palette after my first class were so pretty, I didn't want to waste them. So I painted them onto a sheet of watercolor paper. Then I thought I would try different embellishing techniques.
Green #2 |
I used a stencil and the contrast and triad colors. (with the exception of the blue, those are the colors on each one) I thought it looked a little like a mandala. I've been fascinated and drawn to circles lately. I also find green and purple very healing and calming to look at. Love the background shades.
"Dahlia" Red #2 |
I sprinkled salt on this while it was still wet. I liked how a star formed in the center!
Red Orange #4 |
Blue #5 |
I got the inspiration for this from last week's storm on the beach in Galveston. I used a water-soluble Faber-Castell graphite pencil #6B and blurred the lines. I love the resulting shading.
Storm on the beach - Galveston I like this picture so much, it's my iPhone wallpaper |
I tore apart each square and used them as postcards/greetings to give to friends.
Sometimes the project leftovers go on to have a more interesting life than the original work!
