recent projects part 2...

Well. 

Here I am again. 

This time I have rediscovered my watercolors, which were buried under a avalanche of art supplies.

*blush*

*hides behind art supplies*

I will clean them up.

Sometime.

*clears throat*

{end of rabbit trail}

So, we have some watercolor paintings.

First, a bouquet...the flowers were roughly sketched with white crayon and then painted over with watercolor. 

'Fraid I can't get over the wax resist technique. 

First on Pysanky, then art...

Then, we have a freaky, spooky looking castle. 

Yes, I know that does not sound like me. 

I actually saw this in an art book, and theirs looked so neat, I had to try it.

You squirt different colors of acrylic paint in a line along the bottom of the paper, then use a piece of cardboard to drag the paint upward.

You may be wondering at this point why I call it a watercolor painting.

Well...

I didn't have the correct colors of acrylic paint.

So I used undiluted watercolor paints from a tube instead .

T'was all I had, so I used it. :P

And it worked pretty well.

The final touches, like the hanging bridges, birds/bats and trees were added with a felt tip pen.

Finally, I couldn't resist putting in a pic of my stone. 

Yes, you heard me correctly.
A stone.

I saw a picture of a stone painted very nicely, with a sweet little bird on the top.

{inspiration}

The next day I walked out of the house, calling over my shoulder:

"Bye Mom! I'm going to go paint a stone!" 

You can imagine her response.

Then again, I think she is getting used to my wild ideas...

That night, we were sitting around joking about it.

(Everyone liked the stone...;P)

Mom suggested teasingly that it would be a very good excuse to use against unwanted future suitors.

(NOT that I'm planning on those anytime soon...*rolls eyes* )

I can just imagine it:

"No, sorry, I'm busy. Have to go paint a stone!"

XD

Well...that's it!
