71-77/365somethings2018

2 days overdue, 

but here are the next 7 icads in the series.

they are all done with collage and watercolours.

While working on them the theme suddenly emerged, 

fly

birds and butterflies fly

and so do cherubs.

64-70/365somethings2018

If you've seen my blogposts this week you saw that I received my Kuretake watercolor set.

I am a newbie to watercolors so indexcards to the rescue,

they are just perfect to experiment with:

gradient with 1 color.

gradient with 2 colors.

salt sprinkling.

alcohol dripping.

plastic foil wrapping.

masking fluid drawing.

some fun with circles.

turrets and watercolors

I was finally able to do Jamies class on watercolor and castles,

I had, yes had to,order a watercolor set, 

so I opted for this beautiful Kuretake box,

it took a few weeks to get to me, 

but, o boy, it was totally worth while the wait

just look how gorgous they are

I've never ever attempted any watercolor paintings

but I am very pleased with how my castle turned out.

I wanted to create a fairy castle

and the dreamy effect the watercolors create are a perfect fit.
