This product comes loaded dry, onto pieces of paper! Hard, cardstock-like paper. Amazing product. See more about it here. This is a product that has been around a very long time, originally used to tint black and white photographs! {I have some of those pictures of me as a baby ~ I should find them!}
Bright, beautiful, clear and completely transparent, and also they are a fun, totally mixable color with a fabulous palette of colors to choose from.
I don’t care for the drawing above… just messing around, really, because I love using this product. It is good to PLAY! Who knows, maybe by the time I add somethin’ here or there… a drawing, stencil, paint or doodle ~ maybe i will like it better?
And a color chart. Always good to have as a resource.
The photo below wasn’t made using the Peerless watercolors, but my Derwent watercolor pencils, drawn and colored below. I have always loved aspen trees! And it’s one of my favorite landscapes to create… I’m so looking forward to learning more, and what I shall add to this, if anything … we shall see!
I’m not totally lovin’ it yet ~ but it’s a place to start. And one must start… somewhere!
I’m filling up my watercolor journal! It’s been GRAND!
Hope you’re filled to the brim with beginnings. {you’re never too old – I can safely say!} It’s all about attitude. Do you have new or old beginnings to share?
in the meantime ~~~Just Begin!
XO
Leslie

I am totally loving it, I absolutely love your play with paint. The trees are fabulous Leslie! You are brilliant girl!
It is always such a joy to witness ART in the creation process! You are so good at what you do, I could look at your art forever and never tire of it :*)
Something I began this spring which I haven't put on my blog is that I've started running. I've been desperate to lose weight and nothing worked. I stared with the walk run program and I'm now up to a 39 minute continuous jog. I've lost about 12 pounds and I'm really hoping for more!
I love your Aspens! I've not done enough sketching this summer.
Always a good place to start my sweet Elle! I've got more to share… and they are juicy. I'm still not through the class, but don't want to sit at the computer – I want to play!
Thanks for that sweet encouragement, Donna! i have… more to come!
I love all of your colorful journal pages Leslie! They're eye candy for me!

In the beginning. I always go back to the beginning in just about everything. Sometimes it is a stall but sometimes it is building momentum to get up and over the top. Wow, these are juicy. Now I like that grid with the bubbles. I'm finishing up a few things then I'm ready to join you for this class.YUM!
