Wednesday, May 26, 2021 Vacation Painting

It’s Watercolor Wednesday, the day that I’m usually grasping at straws to make sure I have something to post. However, I brought my paints with me on vacation and although I’ve often done that and never touched them, this time I got them out a few times. In addition, I had finished the Watercolor Travel to Italy (or whatever it’s called) Lesson #12 before we left, so I have all sorts of fun things to share.

Lesson #12 was another one that I enjoyed working on. I liked the pop of color in the oleander shrub and the dreaminess of the misty mountains in the background. Had a little trouble with the rocks.

I usually like my first attempt better, but I really like my second one the best this time, mostly because I spent more time on the details of the oleander shrub.

And here’s a collage of the paintings I did while we were out west. Two of them are original artwork and three of them are copied from ideas on Pinterest or on Instagram. I bet you can tell which two are the originals. 🙂 If not, ask me.

My daughter Ruth took a turn painting in my watercolor book as well and I love how it turned out. It was also copied from an idea on Pinterest.

Vacation Painting definitely had a better outcome than Vacation Eating.

See how easy that was to read? More photos, fewer words – that’s the ticket.

I’ll probably delete this in the morning, but only if I see the idea on Pinterest or Instagram first. I’m not very original.
