4 paintings laid in a rectangle with turquoise, yellow, pink, red, violet and black watercolor backgrounds. Circles connected with multiple lines dance across the pages accompanied by gold dots connected with single lines.

My latest art piece is composed of four pieces of paper, painted with watercolor, and then line work added in acrylic marker.

You’re may need to limit your layers. I find watercolor ground difficult to apply multiple glazes to and also to pull fine details. (That may be user error however.)

These Daiso watercolors from my recent Daiso haul look so aesthetic, but the question remains

How do they handle?

Too bad I bought them to be paint…

The tube exteriors are so pretty and satisfying all lined up though. 🤣

I cannot wait to see what you think of the pastel ones from Daiso! I was disappointed in the color payout, and when I panned them they dried up into nothing. 🤣 Literally, there were a few dried bits stuck to the edges of the pan, but that’s it. I’d never seen shrinkage that bad before!

mine poor human there's no need to repeat yourself...i ignored you just fine the first time 😼🐾 #cats ❤️

It is crazy that this book is nine years old! And to those of you who haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for?? It’s brilliant!

I’m so sorry you’re feeling that way. I have a lot of wonderful writers and artist I enjoy that are self-published. I think your work is awesome and very solid. Virtual hugs.

Yay! I was hoping you would.

I like to hit up a local museum or a gallery or two-they usually have good a/c, and it inspires me to see what other folks are creating.

Hoping you’re feeling some relief soon!

Fooled around in an art journal this morning.

My brilliant friend with all the best ideas! That sounds delicious!

Just remembered I had this in my folder

Adorable! My favorite detail is the cat and the butterfly on the very end. I love the way you did the various layers of landscape.

Wow!!!!! I love the color separation in this piece!!
