ETeam Picks . . . Challenge!!


http://eclecticpaperie.blogspot.com/2013/10/eteam-picks-challenge-water-coloring.html


Watercoloring!! I LOVE it!  I would never have guessed that water-coloring would be so fun and relaxing . .  . until I tried it! Giovanna set up a watercoloring challenge over at the eP blog,  and I was SUPER excited!  SO, get a basic set of watercolors and get going!!



 I did this super simple little piece on the airplane coming back from visiting my Granny this weekend! Before I left I gessoed a couple of pieces of Simple Stories December Documented paper. (I like water-coloring on gesso because I can move the watercolor around for a little bit before it dries ...which means that when I make a mistake I can fix it easily!!)   In addition to the paper, I also carried with me a couple of brushes, my little tin of Neocolors, a black pen, a white pen and a waterbrush !  Sketch, color and doodle!  Try it . . . and come join ePaperie challenge!
