Snow Cones

I felt like throwing some watercolor on my Arches 140 lb rough paper. Sometimes I just have to do that and see the color disperse and move around. Ahhh..it's wonderful. I can't get too far away from the watercolor. I sketched them out then added the blue background. Then added the color for the flowers and outlined with Sumi India ink. I think I might do another one and paint them pink. This is painted in this journal.

Special Journal

This is the special journal that I bought from my good friend, Lori Vliegen at Elvie Studio. This is a wonderful little blank journal that is 6x6 on Strathmore 140 lb. watercolor paper. She has done a wonderful job on this little journal and I want to get more of them. But Lori is in the process of moving into her new house and studio so she only has one available now. I love this one too. 

If you want one you can email her or convo her and she will make you one soon. 

My inspirations in this little journal as well as my present art journey are : Sharon Tomlinson, DJ Pettitt, Julie Prichard, Carol Sloan, Connie Furgason.

I like to give credit where credit is due.  It might take a few seconds for the video to appear---hang on...it's coming...and if you double click it will take you to the YouTube site and it displays better. It is cropped a bit in Blogger---why, I don't know.
