Wed 2/28/18 more stolen watercolor ideas

I stole this adorable idea for an entry in my watercolor journal from this blog, “Karijn’s Watercolors”…     her people are so cute, and what an original idea.

I hope she won’t mind. Not only is it not my idea, I copied her sketch nearly exactly… (with small changes)… then did the painting in a similar manner as well (again with some differences, but minor)

I had to do this one after I saw it because my granddaughter spelled F-I-S-H for me tonight for the first time ever, and I promised I’d do a painting of a fish. Perfect timing!

 

Day 87: (Tues 3/28) WATERCOLOR. :)

Yep it’s Iraville again, and such a cute tutorial. The great one on the screen in the picture, that’s hers. Mine is on paper. This one actually took me two evenings. I had a lot of problems with this. Masking fluid (also called FRISKET. Yeah.) gave me a lot of trouble again. However I may have solved this issue… I ordered a ruling pen, and supposedly these things really help with fine lines. (We shall see. In one to three weeks.) Still, I love this one and am happy to have it in my collection of sketches. I’d like to be able to draw like this on my own soon…. (sighs wistfully)
