Ok, so I panicked at first when I saw this week's Watercolor Wednesday Challenge just because I can't get things straight. Oh, my, three eggs in a row would have taken me absolutely forever to align and I didn't have forever this week. So instead, I drew just one egg.
As far as I know, I have only two rather large egg stamps so I took one of them. Stamped it on copy paper, cut it out, and used it as my template. He still has a slightly wonky shape so I stuck him in the corner! I absolutely adore the way the colors worked together. The speckles are so pretty. I looked up eggs and this is pretty close to a Black Bird egg.
I used 100% cotton paper because a friend gifted me a package of high-quality paper! Her kindness made my month and changed my perspective on papers. Life is too short to use the cheap stuff. This egg was a dream to paint!
Here is the video:
I have this card blogged HERE. The sentiment is from a super cute new kit that I have pictured on the post.
Thanks for looking!

LOL Angie... I highly doubt your claim of being unable to get things straight. (Can any of us get things perfectly straight?! hehe), but I LOVE what you did here to put one big, bright, and cheerful egg on display! Beautifully done!
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
C

So very pretty Angela. The pink framing shows off your egg wonderfully. So happy to hear you have had the chance to work with quality paper, which I found makes a big difference. Happy for you.

I love your speckled egg against the pink frame!! Beautiful job.
Straight is no longer in my vocabulary. I used to be able to eyeball everything. Now I think is straight and it’s not.
This egg was a dream to paint!
