Fearless Friday, “Simple Things” Watercolor

 

Simple things bring much happiness,

Fresh flowers can change the whole mood of a space

Instantly everything seems fresher &  brighter

 

 

 

 

They don’t have to be fancy, in fact, I like a casual vase with just a few stems, like in this magazine photo

 

 

 

 

A few pink petals help establish the composition

 

 

 

 

Water

 

 

 

 

Adding blues

 

 

 

 

Stems and leaves

 

 

 

 

More details and shadows

 

 

 

A white paint pen or a white gel pen can add a few bright highlights to the glass

 

 

 

I do watercolor paintings on an Arches Watercolor block pad, 140 lb, Cold Pressed, 9″X12″ paper

A block pad keeps your paper flat, no ripples…good paper is pricey, but quality makes a big difference

Plus it’s so heavy I often paint on both sides!

Enjoy the simple things!

Happy creating and Be Fearless!
