Day 17, 30×30 direct watercolor challenge: octopus card and label (posted late)

Most people doing this challenge are doing complete paintings… my goal was just to get into the habit of painting every day, and try new little techniques, and learn about my paints. I made a card and address label to send with a paint sample I’m mailing to someone. EEM watercolor pans (Eventually, Everything Mixes handmade watercolors) Burnt Sienna and Tia.

Day 21, 30×30 direct watercolor challenge: roses

Following a live Jay Lee Youtube demonstration, I came up with these roses today (considerably different, I am afraid, than the lovely blossoms Jay Lee painted!) But I like my version and see where I can improve, too.
