How to do the washes, especially around flowers that seems to come so easy to some people.

It's so true that we tend to want to be perfect with our crafting but art should be a time to let go and have fun☺️. This process reminds me of under painting. Love this new mat.

Summer has been here (Florida) for quite a while - I think it was up to about 85 degrees today. I have had to have the a/c on a few times already, but I mostly leave the windows open as much as I can. I will probably have them open all night long to cool the house down.Cyndee Scholethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201286189859562236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-55928341058858450452019-04-12T17:17:01.328-05:002019-04-12T17:17:01.328-05:00I tend to think summer comes in May when the snow ...I tend to think summer comes in May when the snow is off a certain mountain peak and that indicates time to plant.

In my mind she was brilliant at it. <br />Spring is here and it is glorious! We did have a false start to summer last week as it was over 90 degrees.

Usually Winter gives a cameo around my birthday the day before tax day. Summer conducts intense practice for a time, with a chance of a final winter performance between May 3 and May 14. Usually it bows out after the 21st and allows Summer to take the stage.<br />:)<br />Love what you did with the watercolor...just beautiful!Diane (fionna51)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03730867336172399401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-70716549063140647162019-04-12T08:36:49.639-05:002019-04-12T08:36:49.639-05:00Wow - who knew!

Sometimes it's here by early May; sometimes a month or so later. All I know is - I'm ready for consistently warm weather to get here! Love this video - how would you do this technique in the absence of the water media mat? Would you just have to add water during the process to keep your paper wet? I'm sure this mat will find it's way to my desk sometime! To think I could have picked it up at Create! Darn!Avra Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452035961608245369noreply@blogger.com
