Watercolor pencil Iris

Well i broke out my watercolor pencils to give them another try.  I've been working on some tutorials from the school of Anna Mason art so i haven't had a lot of time to create cards. I have 2 Birthdays this week and i haven't gotten them done yet so i had to put it in fast motion to get them done. Here is one. I drew the iris looking at a photo in a book.
My Mother-in-laws favorite color is purple so i was right on this iris. lol

Songthrush bird egg

I've signed up for Anna Masons watercolor painting class and this is what i made the night before last using her reference photo. I love learning her techniques.  I'm so happy that i signed up! Now i do have to say that i don't have all of the correct colors of paint in the same brand that she uses to do some of her courses.  That isn't stopping me though. I'm making due with what i have and i've ordered a few more. I did paint her daffodil last night but i don't like my version at all. lol. I will not be sharing that.
I 'll use this as a card to send for Easter possibly

Just Keep Swimming!

I Broke out more of my Hero Arts layering stamps and made this cute octopus. I tried a new technique for the backgound of this card. I made it look like a watercolor background using Hampton Art inks and water on Bristol. I love the result! The sentiment i had in my stash and is from Whimsy Stamps.

A Duck in Watercolor

I would say that i'm addicted now to watercolors. I painted this duck last week and forgot to post it. I really dislike the rocks that i put in the background (I know i don't like the rocks either) It Does give me a goal though.  Now i have to learn to paint rocks. lol. I think that i may use this painting to make my Dads Birthday card. I did not have a reference photo for the background on this one but i did find a duck photo.

Beautiful flowers everywhere

Getting ready to spend the day with my Dad and Mom at the Indianapolis home show and thought that i'd share some flowers that i watercolored. I'm really love learning the whole process. The Color Wheel and complimentary colors etc... I know that i learned this when i was a kid but now i'm actually enjoying it. lol!

I didn't really have a reference photo for these. I just found different flowers and started drawing and putting them together.
