Lightbulb

Photo Details

Poster: Holstein

This card is my feeble attempt at watercoloring. I know how to use acrylics, but watercoloring has been a wall block for me. I took this wonderful online watercoloring class....so many awesome techniques are displayed. After many tries the lightbulb finally went off in my brain.... you do not control the paint, the water is the controller. I still have a mega amount to learn, but it really is fun. Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous card Linda. You are too hard on yourself! I know what you mean about watercoloring ... I had to let go of wanting to control things as well.

Linda, THIS is incredible! I have taken the same class and you see that I have posted nothing! This looks like a fabulous painting and should be framed! Just fabulous!
