#learningtowatercolor

There has been a lot of road kill around the house lately bringing the turkey vultures to cruise the skies as I walk. They are such fascinating creatures and I never knew how big they were till I moved here and get to see them almost daily. They are scary big with at least a 6ft wing span and stand about 2ft. tall. My little dog George likes to watch them too when they are low enough. I had a weird nightmare with them in it the other day, so I decided to paint them out of my head. #painting #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #watercolors #watercolorpainting #morningpagepainting #morningpages #sketchbook #illustration #illustragram #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #playingwithwatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKyoSZp8Xt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 41/100 #the100dayproject I added some water splashes. I was nervous about adding them because I liked my fish. I got my old brush like the instructor did and went added the light blue, but because I was so worried about messing it up, I didn’t realize the brush soaked up way too much water and wet the page way too much🤦🏻‍♀️. It was a lesson learned. I tried to soak some of up it, but it already had affected the orange. I walked away from it for a bit then came back and added the darker blue. I like it better now, but it was definitely a lesson I won’t forget. #watercolors #watercolorpainting #painting #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #watercolormistakes #watercolorfish #illustrate #illustrations #watercolorsketchbook #sketchbook #watercolorart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbl38iZLRJM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 21/100 #the100dayproject I’m continuing to play with the wet on wet technique, this time on fish. I surely created some funky fish. Now I’m gonna add some #coloredpencil details and see what happens. #learningtowatercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorsketch #watercolorfun #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #playingwithwatercolors #experimentingwithcolor https://www.instagram.com/p/Cau34XBpcek/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 19/100 #the100dayproject I’m continuing to learn and play with watercolors. I’m still exploring #layering and #mixingcolors and #lettingthecolorsbleed We we’re supposed to do fish, but I decided to do my favorite underwater creature, the jellyfish. My favorite part of the @montereybayaquarium is the jellyfish. I could sit and watch them swim all day. They are so mesmerizing, so I thought about all the times I visited the aquarium and began to paint. It’s not done yet. I still need to add some details, but it’s going in the direction I wanted so YEAH ME!! Watercolors are hard, but fun at the same time😜 #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #painting #watercolorsketch #watercolorsketchbook #sketchbook #winsorandnewton #illustrate #illustration #illustragram #illustrationartists #jellyfish #jellyfishart #relaxingmybrain #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #playingwithwatercolors #experimentingwithcolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CaqMYzWr1Oo/?utm_medium=tumblr
