HI, after church this morning I went over to Mama and Daddy's for coffee,came home made lunch and cleaned up my art table and now took a short walk. Yesterday I realized I hadn't painted all day .I had helped John with yard work. So I did a wash of lots of colors on a sheet of paper and put 3 potato mashers directly down on the paper as it dried. It formed some interesting patterns. I 'll try and take a photo of it and show you tomorrow. It'll be fun to figure out what to paint on that! What is the silliest thing you have used on your watercolor painting?? Tell me!! ha ha.. I suppose vodka was my silliest..drizzle it on and it acts like alcohol.. leaving a round spot.. try it..
Here is some daffodils from last year. I will teaching a class at ESOwww.esoartscenter.org 
on Thursday of this week on painting daffodils in watercolor. I'll take a large bouquet of Mama's flowers from her yard. Living in the shade of the pine trees I only get a few and they aren't blooming yet.:)
Well take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend. love,Diana
And all I could find myself wondering is why on earth you have 3 potato mashers, hmmmmm???? Love the start on the daffodils!
ReplyDeletePotato mashers would never have sprung to mind to use for texture. Looking forward to seeing it. I shall certainly see what alcohol does to watercolour and not through me drinking it!!! Thanks for the tips Diana.
ReplyDeletethank you Laura, ha ha. It's fun to try different textures. You can use regular alcohol.. that's what I use if I have it.Thanks Sherry. My grandmother had 2 and now I have 3. Take care, love,Diana
