Coneflowers Watercolor In My Art Journal

Hello lovely peeps!  We've been out of town for a few days, and it's good to be back home.  I always miss my art when I am away.  Today was an exquisite day weather wise, so I grabbed my supplies and headed outdoors to my backyard retreat in my garden to draw and paint.  My friend came over, and we had a lovely time creating together.  

I worked with my watercolors in my art journal today, and created this for the World Watercolor Month FB page challenge....
The prompt is 'beautiful blooms,' so I drew some cone flowers to paint.  I love cone flowers.  They remind me of little ballerinas with their flowing skirts.

It was a perfectly lovely day.  I got to practice my watercolor, spend time in the garden, and enjoy the company of my best friend.  I feel very blessed.

Thanks so much for visiting.  I love to read your comments, if you're so inclined.  

Blessings,

Weeds Are Flowers Too!

I've been working in my garden, which inspired my watercolor art journal page today.  It is day five of World Watercolor Month, so I drew some of my garden weeds and painted them.
Thanks for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a card post.

Joy Of The Lord

Day four of World Watercolor Month.  Today I created in my watercolor art journal.  I used my Daniel Smith watercolors, keeping myself to just the  basic set of six.  I love mixing colors to get different ranges and temperatures of color.  A little hand lettering for my verse finish my composition.  

And, here is a close-up....
 
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed your day, and made time for yourself, to do something you enjoy.

Blessings,

Comfort Zone

Today is day three of World Watercolor Month.  I played in my journal today.  The prompt on the World Watercolor Facebook Group for today is 'Primary Colors.'  Red, yellow, blue - but I needed to add a bit of green for my leaves, which is, technically, a secondary color.
I had fun with this.  I'm definitely outside my comfort zone on this.  I use watercolor a lot on stamped images for cards.  I had dabbled a teensy bit a few years ago with watercolor painting.  Now, I have a desire to get into it on a deeper level.  But I am a control freak, so watercolor is a challenge for me.  It has it's own mind, so I'm learning it's ways.  I decided I would combine watercolor with something I AM comfortable with...doodling!
Thanks for visiting today.  If you have a chance, do hop on over to the World Watercolor Facebook Group  and check out the amazing talent there.  I'm definitely out of my league.  But, then, that's the challenge, and that's the fun.  And I can only grow from it!

Blessings,
