“Roses in September”

Hello Everyone, I had so much fun celebrating my “milestone” birthday September 13th, and all that week actually and received so many beautiful flowers. I have begun to paint my first vase of flowers. These red roses were actually among a bunch of several other beautiful flowers I received from my son and his girlfriend. I split them up into four vases and having fun painting and creating. Milestone birthday you ask? Well I only feel about 40 years old! Hope to be around for a long time!!

I am using a rubber cement eraser to take off the masking fluid. The masking fluid helped save my highlighted areas after I applied paint in my vase. The highlighted areas will give the vase that look of glass.

Happy Creating,

Vicki

“Let’s Paint Roses in a Pretty Bowl”

Hello Everyone,

I love Roses, they are all in bloom in our garden except the pink ones we have in the front garden. I also love putting cut flowers in our pretty dishes as a center piece for the table.

Such loveliness to capture in a painting. I find the more I paint, the more challenging some compositions are for me, but that’s good. That means I continue to learn. Don’t give up if you are starting to paint in Watercolor! Remember mistakes are good, that means we will all learn for the next painting, right?

Happy Creating,

Vicki
