Paint from Life

I used to have a beautiful plum tree in my front yard. Some of you may have seen the picture in this blog when it was in bloom. Well we cut it down and this crazy bush has come from the roots.

I sat out on the deck the other day and tried to capture the essence of this wild and woolly bush. Using watercolor and some thin and small brushes I was able to produce this.

With watercolor you can make your project sparkle by painting distant backgrounds and by using more water it can be so faint.

Dip in to watercolors, continue to experiment, you can represent nature or not. You can express your feelings or paint for fun.

Keep your brushes wet!
