Experimenting with Watercolor: September 30th to October 7th, 2020

Well – this week we are experimenting with watercolor – that’s for sure. Don’t get too used to it – after this week’s share I ended up ditching the watercolor, to perhaps be revisited at a later date. While I really enjoy the extra pop of color, I was using the wrong paper. The paper would bend and warp with the addition of water, and so I told myself I’d try again once I had a better sketchpad. Well… Quite a few months later and I still haven’t revisited it. WHOOPS.

That’s okay. This is also the end of the underwater series – which really holds a special place in my heart, because I love sea creatures so much. BUT – I will say that I’m excited for the next full series that’s going to come up… I don’t think we’ll touch on it next week just yet… but I will say, it’s outer space!

My favorite pieces from this week’s share are “Spinner,” “Angler,” and “A Slight Strangle.” Honorary mention for “Bleeding Out,” too.

What are your favorites? Let me know! DM me on instagram or contact me here – even if just to say hi. Be sure to check out last week’s post, too!
