As I was sorting through the clutter on my bookshelf in the loft, I came upon these three pages from 2006 — my early attempt at keeping an artist journal. I first discovered watercolor in 2005 and began drawing again after ignoring it for over 30 years. These were probably copied from other sources; I had filled an old unused daily planner with cheap watercolor paper.
Hi, Vicky, your "early pages" are just gorgeous, there's tenderness hidden in them... love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jana! They look so pale to me now — I was using student grade watercolors and didn’t know to mist the pans before using to reactivate the pigment. They were also copied from other sources, just for practice.
DeleteYes, they are pale - but they are perfect as backgrounds for writing! I love them!
DeleteI didn’t think of that, Kathleen, but you are right! Pale works best for under text.
