Watercolor Pre-Class -- Playing

I had a little time today to do another exercise. Three actually.

First, just some swishes of color. Don't know yet if I will cut these down for card fronts, or die cut some labels and flowers.


Tried mixing some colors to get a feel for how that works. Nothing too interesting here. I can see it will take practice to mix a new color. I was better at this with oils or acrylics in the past.


Tried the plaid. I should have kept it all lighter. Also tried splashes of rainbow colors. I may see if I can make these into cards tomorrow. Right now they are under a pile of acrylic blocks, trying to get flat!

    1. I'm loving these pre-class exercises too -- something I haven't seen at OCC before, but a great idea. Thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to class -- see ya there!
