Two quick painting lessons from a Jay Lee youtube tutorial:

For the tree leaves, we made foil balls about 2″ in diameter, and brushed paint on them, and dabbed them onto the paper all over the branches. I was supposed to use acrylic paint and dip the foil ball in… next time I may try gouache for this. It was fun… try it!

I had a swap to send out, “something yellow”… I made this bookmark using washi tape on watercolor paper, and painted the little sunflower on a card… I stayed within the boundaries of the 30 day challenge and did not sketch the flower out first.
