hello ~
during this time of the winter’s peak in montana, i most often find myself, eager to come home from work, and curl up in the chair, with a big lap desk and my watercolors spread out! {it’s a little risky for a messy girl like me} but with -29 degrees, it’s a cozy way to spend the evening.
and so… i’m experimenting, learning, and growing in the nuances of color washes, runs and drips! here are a few samples of my “work” {i use that term lightly here!}, just in time for valentine’s day. i ordered a box of 100 strathmore watercolor cards, 5×7″ in size, and have been happily using them up! these cards feature twinkling h20’s watercolors and they are incredibly bright, with a beautiful touch of sparkle. i do have a tendency to “drench” the paper {sometimes too much} but it’s all a really fun learning curve, and i get to practice some hand lettering, too. all of which is done with either a pitt pen, or a unipen, which is just a flat black, waterproof pen.

the last one is my most favorite and i do so enjoy adding the hand-lettering, but i really dig that orange and blue combo together.
thank you for stopping by, i hope you have a bright, {warm} and cozy evening {or day}.

Gorgeous Leslie – I think the last one is my favourite too!!
Love your watercolor play. You need to spill that sunshine with temps like that. xox
oh yes,,,,awesome
These are lovely, Les. I'm really liking a sketchy line for a border and I can't wait for the twinkling H2O lesson! I'm messy, too so pass on any anti-dripping techniques! lol
Beautiful hearts – happy Valentines Week 🙂
