i have always frowned upon watercolours thinking they were only used in 'pretty' landscapes. with my youngest running around, not yet 2 years old, and no extra room to spread out and paint with oils i decided to try watercolours. it took a while and a good few sheets of watercolour paper before i got into them. i still have a way to go but i love the idea of the layering. the patience part is still a little problematic as i want to dive in with the deeper colours..
i have really enjoyed the process and have moved from arctic portraits to human ones :)
happy thursday!

Julie!! Hello!!
So good to *see* you!
I'm cuious about how the arctic is linked to your mind but as arctic is all about white:
It's amazing how you're managing the whiteness in your watercolours, something I always find hard to deal with.
Your portraits are great!!!!
these are amazing, I wish I could paint as well as you! I've always found oil paints the trickiest, but I guess that's because I have little experience with them. I'd love to see your human watercolour portraits :)
gorgeous julie !!
They are gorgeous, I'm a sucker for Arctic creatures any way and something about the watercolour adds to the feeling of them being from a place of so much water, albeit frozen much of the time.
Oh my gosh! These are mesmerising!! I love them! I once tried watercolours for my art exam but they didn't look good! But these are lovely, I really like them. They're almost celestial (is that how you spell it?) in the their nature.
