I wanted to show you my finished paintings I started on my video posted June 23, 2021 – Materials & Tools I use to Paint in Watercolor. I started the paintings and talked about some materials I was going to use to complete the paintings. The video was made to give you some ideas as to what tools and materials you could use to paint in watercolor.

I hope you can watch this video on my Artist Blog or YouTube channel to help you start your watercolor journey as well as my video posted May 26, 2021, Paints, Palettes, Brushes, & Paper.

Until next time,

Happy Creating,

“Roses in September”

Posted on by

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

“Painting a Deer in Watercolor”

Posted on by

Hello Everyone, I’m very excited today as my husband Tom just completed making the puzzle I talked about out of my bunny I painted last week for my grandchildren.

A puzzle made from a Watercolor painting

Today I painted a deer for my other grandchildren that will also be turned into a puzzle. Hopefully he can get that done in the next few days – already for Christmas!! I will show you a picture of it.

Painting a Deer in Watercolor

Soon I will show you a picture of our Christmas cards we made this year as that was my 7th project I accomplished this year as I mentioned in another video – turning my materials I have in the craft room into something!

Hope you are having fun and able to stay calm and happy preparing for the holiday too.

Happy Holidays & Happy Creating,

Vicki
