Five Watercolors
My friends! Do you also have the wonderful week after Christmas off? If not, don't worry - I have been relaxing extra hard for you too. While working on my summer portfolio and watching my husband make a surprise project with his new wood-working skills, we have been enjoying our last few days before school starts again. I can feel our college time nearing to an end and it is bittersweet.
As I mentioned in my previous post, we took the handmade road for most of our Christmas presents. I tried to find a meaningful watercolor design for both sets of our younger siblings and practice my new skill. Painting has always been low on my list of hobbies... along with drawing. These little pieces helped me gain new respect for the beauty that both bring. I guess Heavenly Father is trying to teach me to love what I hate because I now have 2 consecutive semesters occupied with these classes.
Later I'll provide a quick tutorial on the techniques I've found to work best for me, personally. I know there are so many other artists out there who have me beat in the watercolor game though, so please feel free to share you tips!
You can find the original pieces that I used as inspiration in the links at the bottom of the post.
