Watercolor Week

On Monday I sat in the back patio and painted the planting bench...and then I tore the paper trying to take it off the pad...slow down Lynn... Next I drew and painted the strawberry pot that has a few surviving succulent plants growing out of it.
On Tuesday I stayed indoors and drew the patio furniture through the glass doors.
Practice, practice, practice...the teacher said just keep doing it...so I am on a roll here.
Fabric art is taking a back seat right now. Journal pages can be worked on too. I change my mood and desire for what and how to create daily so who knows what I will do tomorrow?
What about you? What are you creating, doing, hopefully, something that makes you happy. It's Friday
and I am off to Davis to meet my friend
Diane the quilter
at the Artry
a co op art gallery/store
where our friend
Terry Busse is showing her
art
!
And then Diane and I will go to lunch...

  2. Sounds like you have a full life Lynn. That's wonderful. My life is pretty empty. But this is my own fault I know. I am making a pizza.

  6. Isn't it great to feel inspired to just keep creating - whether it comes from a new medium or a new technique or just needing to get some thought/feeling out of you ?
    Enjoy the flow, wonderful Explorer Woman !
    Happy Friday !

  9. Mim, thanks...I have a little set called Transparent watercolours I think the brand is Taleny or Jalenz or Talen y or z...It's a fancy script and hard to figure out. I got them at a yard sale! But they were never used. And its two layers of paints in rounds like little kid paint sets. No idea if they are "good" paint or not, but lots of colors (24) in all.

    Suki, enjoy your pizza! You often do fun things, so I think your life is just fine!

    Diane, thanks, glad you are enjoying my attempts at painting.

    Messyfish, thanks, Davis is about 30 miles west of Sacramento, CA.

    Lisa, that means a lot coming from you, the queen of watercolor! Thanks, I'll keep working at it.

    Kim, you make me smile. Thanks. I do love exploring new mediums.

    Cris, I will be at the tea party with you in spirit. Lets see what I can do. Have fun there, know you will!!!

  13. Love you watercolors. I always feel like my paints are going to go everywhere when I am painting in water colors. Your look really clear.
    I am going to be doing the sketchbook project 2011...google that for details. I am planning on doing my handcarved stamped faces for the book. So I am gearing up to doing more stamps.
    I am also cooking, having picnics with family, gardening, and stitching something for a gift.
    I was drawing everyday...and you have reminded me to get back to it. Draw draw draw.

Thanks for leaving your comments as I love hearing from you. Your words of encouragement are why I continue to draw!
