Description

Hi.   Yay, school is over!   So I painted something to celebrate. Unfortunately I never seem to finish, but it looks good anyway. Now maybe I can get back to finishing some of the other things I've had to leave hanging...

For this try I used a vial of distilled water with an eyedropper in the lid. That worked better than the squirt bottle. You can put a drop on each cake of paint to soften them, and I was even able to create washes directly inside the brush. I washed out the brush by putting drops on it then patting it on a paper towel. (your socks work too ~..^ ) Oh, and I found I could wick away excess water (dry brush / wet brush) by touching the ferule end to the towel edge. Though I still had trouble with that -- well, it was manila paper rather than watercolor paper. I'm beginning to think I could use a little instruction on painting techniques.
