Color me brightly

  • Today was my travelling day, so I am exhausted and ready for bed after sharing this with you. Yesterday I did some watercolor mixing experiment that went wrong on two ATCs and almost on the third one as well. The third turned out pretty nice after all, I made some mud, but actually I like…

  • I spent lots of time doing the lesson for Ever After, but I did not miss a day of watercolor. ATCs are quick and I need around 30 minutes to do one. This is perfect to get my daily dose of color and flow therapy! So, here is what I did: This is ATC No.…

  • And I am already behind! I should be finishing lesson 2 this week and I only just finished 1. Anyway. This was hard, because we were supposed to follow as close as possible what the teacher did, use the same supplies and techniques. It makes me itch and fidget and wish to abandon it and…

  • World Watercolor Month: Days 11 and 12

    As I hinted yesterday, here come two darker pieces. These are not ATCs but they are anyway small, only 5″x7″ or 12.5 x 18 cm.

  • The only limits are those you impose on yourself… Work in progress. She is deep in thoughts. She is rather unhappy, scared and in need of encouragement… which can obviously come only from inside. But she is not strong enough today. Collage and acrylic background and watercolor on top.

  • She knows but she is refusing to accept it. She hopes it is not what is. She hopes that it is true that everything changes. This was done on 5×7 stand-alone sheet of 300gsm hot pressed paper. It’s mostly acrylics and collage for background and the face is done in watercolors over a layer of…

  • Another index card. These are really fun and quick. Why trust? Because it’s important. Look at her… she trusts herself 🙂

  • Yes… I am lazy. And I forget to blog too. But I recorded a video after a loooong time. I am doing ICAD challenge this year and enjoying it, because they are small and quickly done, and casual and colorful. Ok, this one was a bit complicated… Unfortunately, first third of the video is quite…
