Heron Watercolor continues,A Smoother Day!

Heron Watercolor In Progress

Diana at Art Table,with Sadie

Hi! I worked on my heron watercolor a little more today.Today was so much smoother than yesterday. That is me at my art table, you knew- I love bright colors, and Sadie was just getting out of my lap. We have a lot of old country rockers that were in the family, that one beside me was in John's family. I have one that was my great -great grandfathers from Wachapreague,Va. I love them.. they creak nicely when I rock!

  I hope I get to paint much more tomorrow. I need to for my peace of mind.

 John had brought 2 huge bags of turnip greens and kale for me to cook for Thanksgiving.. I did all that this afternoon.When Sadie went out today we stayed in the backyard, to keep her safe..and will be there as much as possible.Monelle came over. She is painting a lovely surprise for someones Christmas.

 Tell me what you are painting or creating today. Love to you,Diana

Experimenting with watercolor.

HI! This is a Great Blue Heron sketch of his head. I was experimenting with my pouring and wanted to show you. The second photo is of the water applied to the paper with some color and I pressed plastic wrap on it and then took a tiny brush loaded with color and stuck underneath the plastic, which defined the lines more but leaves it wispy. I want to try this with clear water and the wrap and the sneaky tiny colored brush,to see what happens. I also put some gold metallic watercolor on it for fun.Taking it slow. But getting some ideas! Always Right!! Happy weekend, Talk to you soon,Diana
