Keeping My Hand In It

Small Sketch. 4 x 6 watercolor on paper. © 2018 Sheila Delgado

I am hoping tomorrow I can start on an 8 x 8 piece. For now, just a sketch. I started it last night, and finished this afternoon. And here it is five minutes to ten, and I am just now able to post.

Cold and dreary here. Maybe that influenced some of my color choices. I was hoping to get caught in the rain while I was running errands, but no luck. We do have rain on the way this weekend.

Hope your weather is what you hope, and that you are safe and warm!

Here we are. The end of the challenge. And I have to say, February made it fly by. Tomorrow I will share all 30 paintings in a collage. I will share my favorites, and tell you which paintings were the most popular by page views.

See you then!

Texture sheet (dots), plastic wrap, white paint pen, half moons, sea sponge application of turquoise and Kiwi, smeared thinned Lt. ivory, splatters. Ivory vase, wine /Lt. Ivory mix to contrast vase. (Yes, I know. Mauve. But mauve is so 80’s, hate to say it. ) Like how the color dries, decide to use it for the blooms. (Oh MY God.) Blooms: Layer of thin Ivory, layer of mauve quickly pulled of with paper towel. Wet centers, apply paint, hoping it will spread like day 24. It didn’t. Indigo watercolor to define.
