watercolor apples again #julydoodle #warmup4art #cldoodle24 #bardotbrush #watercolor

Inspiration  One thing I especially like about Lisa Bardot’s brushes is that they come with guides that include tutorials and info about how the brushes work– beautifully illustrated with step by step directions. So I last week I had opened the guide for the Watercolor Wonder brushes and chose two tutorial chapters, one of them being the apple, which I wrote about here: July Friendship. My…
