Here's a peak into some of my journals! Although it is cold and snowing outside ride now here in January....I still reach for bright and sunny colors to filly pages. Perhaps I'm looking forward to spring. Of course....I'm always finding flowers cropping up in my images...I can't help myself!

Valentine's Day Cards- watercolor style

Watercolor paints make great valentine cards!  I painted these simple hearts using a masking fluid with washes of watercolor paint applied on top.  Any watercolor paper or mixed media paper works for this technique. I used a heavy card stock...that isn't necessarily used for watercolor...however I knew that I wouldn't be adding too much water so this paper worked.

My new favorite masking fluid!  This little jar was a bit expensive but it works great!  It comes with a nice thin tip and you can control the flow of the masking fluid. I made heart shapes on my white paper and added dots.
Picture
Here the masking fluid is dried in blue.  I then added light washes of watercolor intermixing my colors.  Once dry I removed the blue mask with my finger. It comes off like rubber cement.

The heart is ready to attach to a card to send! What better way to say "you are special to me" than with a hand painted card!

Inspiration for 2019!

I wasn't quite ready for 2019. But the turning of the new year didn't wait for me...and here it is...ready or not!  I started this doodle in the new year and didn't like it very much. It was pale in color and uninteresting. I decided to keep going and see what would become of it...took some risks...tried this and that. My pale doodle became more interesting and dynamic.  Maybe that's a good way to look at the new year.  Take some risks...try something new..even if I don't know how it will end up it's worth a try to explore and discover something new!
