Watercolors—botanicals 10

~ MaryG

These are the last few pages in my botanicals “Watercolor Workbook” by Sarah Simon, a very thoughtful Christmas gift from my daughter.

It was great because it kept me painting through January and February in this very cold and snowy Winter of the Knee, where we’ve mostly just stayed home. (Part 2 of The Year of the Knee—aka “The Other Knee”—is now scheduled for March 16. 🙄)

I enjoyed inking the pre-printed designs with my new artists pens and learned a few good techniques for painting flowers and foliage. Also, I got a lot of useful color mixing information. Each page preserves my color recipes, which will be convenient for future reference.

Finally, hurray for flowers and plants! I’m bad at growing them, but they’re fun to draw, paint. and photograph.

Did you notice that iPhone has hidden “portrait mode” in a new place? I had to Google where to find it.

  7. Mary, I love all of these!

    Winter of the knee 🤣 Winter of the heart over here- it’s felt long, hasn’t it? Only 13 days until we spring forward. Little things to look forward to. 🌻😘

      1. You’re welcome. I know, it’s like the supermarket when they move stuff around, and now you need to spend more time just looking for items. I understand the marketing strategy at the supermarket, but the iPhone? Irritating. 😠
