This is from May 2016, 5×8 watercolor sketchbook, #144 Bleeding Hearts
-Watercolor and micron pen-
Looking back, I think I will try using pens a bit more with my watercolors.
Something about this flower makes me smile, maybe because the little hearts are dancing and singing and it is overflowing with love.
Happy Painting!

Tulips have been a bit challenging for me, but I think I’ve come a long way.
Watercolor Tulips – Then
and now, April 2017 (hopefully, you will agree that this is much improved)
Today I framed the Blushing Tulips watercolor painting to give to my Mom on Mother’s Day. I really hope she likes it.
What I’ve learned:
Keep painting and journaling. Note what works and doesn’t work for you.
Loosen up and have fun. When I’m playing and not trying so hard, I usually have better results.
The Rigger brush is great for adding in fine details, a splash of color, or extra definition at the end.
Know when to put down the brush and stop so that you don’t overwork your painting.
Happy Painting!
