Traced and painting started

Last weekend I was very busy art-wise. On Saturday Ticka and I worked on our Longhorn appliqués. Sunday I was back at Ticka’s playroom for a watercolor session.

Just as a reminder, here’s how I paint. I show up with my purse and maybe a snack. To start, I trace the image onto the watercolor paper. Next, I pick up the paint brush my instructor, Etta (Ticka’s sister), says to pick up. I dip it in the paint color she indicates. I place the paint on the paper where she points to. Repeat the brush and paint motion until the watercolor is finished.

All petals started

Yes, that is how I paint. I walk in with a purse and walk out with a purse and a painting. Art is fun!!

Hmm, sort of a red poppy

Somehow the red in mine didn’t quite turn out like I thought it should. It ended up looking somewhat like a juvenile, multi-petaled Venus Flytrap.

Poppy? Pansy? Venus Flytrap?
