Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.
This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.


Take care!

Watercolor Pencils: Maple Tree Painting

 

Watercolor Pencil Painting: Maple Tree

Maple Tree, Watercolor #paintacadamy tutorial youtube


I am really enjoying my watercolor pencils.  I drew/painted these maple trees, once with my AGPTEK set, and the second time with the Artist's Loft set.  


The first time, I did a pencil sketch first, and the second time I just used the watercolor pencils.  The first time I just used one red pencil crayon for the leaves, and a few browns and black for the trunk, and two greens and brown and black for the base.  The second time I used two reds and two oranges for the tree and blended the colors.   I like the trunk on the first tree better.  

The cheaper Artist's Loft pencils did just as good a job as the more expensive (but still budget) AGPTEK set.
