Another contender. This has more pink in the background than is showing here. I used my Sakura Koi Water Brush. Sea Dean reminded me. I bought it, because I just thought it was so cool, just had to have one. It comes in three sizes, I think I choose the medium.

When I got it home and opened the package. I felt the bristles, and thought there is no way you could have much control. It feels worse than the cheap brushes you get in a kiddie watercolor set. So I sat it aside and forgot about it. I figured the next time I traveled I would take it with me.

Sea asked me if I had tried it, and so of course I had to. And I love it. It holds color well, and cleans easily. I just wiped it once or twice on a damp paper towel, and then dipped it in clean water, but I don’t think I really needed to. I did not see any color coming off in the water.

Now I am excited for the next road trip.
I can paint in the car.
I can paint near.
I can paint far.

I can paint by the pool,
with my handy, cool tool!

 

OK, that was bad. I am tired and it is 11:57. time to post and link up!

One is too light.
The other is too dark.
The flowers in both,
look stale and day old.
Hoping tomorrow
will be more successful.

Fixable maybe.
Add color to one.
Take away from the other. Wipe out the centers
and try again.

Sounds like a few of us had problems today. Comforting
to know I am not alone in the struggle to be better.

Happy
successful painting
everyone!
