World Watercolor Month
Perhaps I am in a little over my head. I decided I would paint every day in July, forgiving myself for 1 or 2 misses. Prioritize! First was getting caught up on the tiny painting series by Kristian Van Leuven. I’m on #51 of the 52 she published so far, so I think I can do that this weekend. I have her 2 June birthday flowers, honeysuckle and rose, to paint, and a live class on a loose desert landscape to follow. She will also have 2 July birthday flowers. Next I wanted to copy the dreamy, watery landscapes by Anastasia Mily. I’ve bought 2 blocks of watercolor paper so I can have the page really wet like she does. My first attempt has a couple of good areas. My thought was to paint 1 every other day or so. I signed up for the 3-week series at the Art Room with Linda Ziegler. That starts next Tuesday night, 6:30-8:30. Plus a one-off at Leu Gardens with Ann Marie. This time it is watermelon slices. And there is Emma Lefebvre’s month-long, back-to-basics, online class. Only 10 minutes...
