BRAND NEW!


I finally finished the watercolor of the columbine (that I sketched...how long ago?).  I ran into a "lack of supplies" roadblock!

So, after a trip to the art supply store in the Springs, I was finally able to get to work.  I masked the flower itself with masking fluid and painted the background first.  All loosey-goosey and drippy.  Then, when that was dry I could rub off the masking fluid and start on the flower...with a MUCH smaller brush!  I do the end-spatter with a toothbrush.  I think I like it!

Now it will go in a mailing envelope (with some stiff backing) and get mailed to a friend on the other side of the country.
