So yesterday I posted this one, watercolor poppies:

Today I got a Sketchbox subscription box in the mail. Sometimes I put these aside for a bit… I almost never use the whole thing at once. All of the art subscription boxes suggest we try to make something using all the supplies. (Always seems like WORK…??) So today I thought, “hey I’ll try using all the supplies!” To be honest, Sketchbox makes it easier, by providing paper (or in this case, a little canvas board) so there’s no excuse not to at least TRY. This month was acrylic paint… yay! So I decided to go ahead and try to redo my poppies in acrylic.

Okay, not as good. But not horrible. A few more intelligently placed layers and I could have something. I do not feel capable of any more intelligently placed layers yet, though. I already cheated a tiny bit by adding some blue paint I had here, because I couldn’t get anything for the background but a muddy mess with the colors they provided. But I’m happy to say I did use ALL the supplies they sent me. Ta-daa!!
