Watercolor Daisy in Class Today

The 30 paintings in 30 days challenge is over.
It was a challenge. I do paint almost everyday
but I don't always get something finished.
Oh well, moving on...
I have a couple of new watercolor students
and that keeps me on my toes.
One student has painted on her own for
several years and the other has lost the use
of her right hand and is learning to paint
with her left hand. They are both amazing.
Hopefully, soon, they will let me post pictures
of the paintings they did today. But until then,
here is what we did.
I painted this one first so they would have an example.

  And then I showed them that if
they weren't happy with their painting
to outline with a fine tipped marker


Or add some splatters!


What do you think?

Day 29 - 30 in 30 Days - Don't Eat the Pansies

Don't Eat the Pansies
5"X7" watercolor on Arches paper
 
I was enjoying photographing my little
vintage silver creamer filled purple pansies...
And then Kitty No decided to investigate
and nibble the petals. She really wanted 
to shred the blossoms
She is named Kitty No for a good reason!
