Hi friends! I hope you are having a good weekend. We are taking it easy, I have one kid down with a cold+allergies so we spent today puttering around the house. I delved into the nooks and crannies of my craft room to try and unearth my extra brayers and lino-cutters (it had really been bugging me that I could not find them when I hosted my Gelli print party last week) to no avail but I did find some mosaic supplies, glass paint and about 200 unfinished resin pendants. Good grief, I am expecting a knock on the door from Hoarders any moment! We did have a little flood in the basement today but luckily it did not get to my craft room or hubby’s woodworking area. On the bright side the cellar floor got a good washing LOL! Tonight I have a fun little painting tutorial for you!
It is geared for beginners so you might want to watch it at 2x speed if you are advanced. It is painted with #5 & #10 round brushes and only 3 colors of paint. I hope you like it!
Supplies:
Strathmore watercolor cards
Cotman Watercolors
#10 & #6 Synthetic rounds
Cut up piece of credit card, water bucket, paper towel
Colors:
Ultramarine Blue
Yellow Ochre
Burnt Sienna

I have taught classes also but I always enjoy seeing what other people are doing! We have black caps here in Alaska also. Love them!
I have a little paint box like yours I bought years ago.. and now I put Graham watercolors in it and use it all the time! I just finished a painting and posted it on my facebook page. When I was teaching a class one of my students was complaining that she did not have as good a brush as mine…so I painted with her brush..She said it’s “not the brush” ..so practice and doing it a lot helps the quality, I think. I love your videos!

I love the tutorial! I’m a lifetime beginner! I’m so sorry you have a little one down with Allergies. I’ve been there, done that, and am still worrying about her even though she’s an adult. She has severe asthma which started when she was 4. She needs her inhaler almost every day.
I hope your child doesn’t! However, if she/he needs one remember to get a prescription for the Emergency Kit and keep it updated!
