This is watercolor and that's a change for me - I usually paint with acrylics. But this was definitely fun to try. It's a wet into wet technique and it is fun to watch the colors flow and blend. Kind of meditative to do. I used my Koi pan watercolors and a waterbrush. So much less to set up and clean up than with acrylics. I just needed my paper, watercolor set, waterbrush and a paper towel! Simple.
These watercolor roses in a heart shape was a fun try at a tutorial video from Melanie April Art. She is a watercolor artist and has some amazing art work and classes. If you want to learn watercolor- check her out!
I need more practice for sure, but this was fun and I have painted more with watercolor since I photographed this. As I write this I want to go try it again. :)
What's working for you lately?
Hope you have a creative weekend! Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.
