Wednesday, March 26, 2025 The Workshop: More Watercolor Roughs

~ Foodiness

I’m still doing some watercolor “roughs” in a book with non-watercolor paper. They turn out rather bumply and weird, and are impractical for making into cards, so why I am even doing this? Good question. I don’t know why, but it’s motivated me to do watercolor work more often than before, It’s been great practice for drawing in proportion and using different lettering styles. It’s been a valuable workshop for mixing colors. It’s also a lesson in why watercolor paper works better for blending. At some point, I’ll transition to doing these in a book that that contains watercolor paper in it, but for now, I’ll keep on with the roughs. These are all copies of things I found on Pinterest except for the words. The words are always mine.

That’s enough for today. I’ll return to old posts tomorrow to save my arm the stress of typing.

Therefore, we do not lose heart,
but though our outer man is decaying,
yet our inner man is being renewed
day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16

I’ll probably rough this post up in the morning.

  1. just love your paintings!! So much fun to see and glad you’ve had time to do some. I want to but guess I haven’t been motivated enough, or have too much else going on.
    I did get a coffee cake made for tomorrow morning. New recipe for the Thursday morning “guinea pigs”. Haha! Keep painting.
