Michelle's Watercolors: Stamping
http://mhwatercolornotes.blogspot.com/2015/05/stamping.html
Wednesday, May 06, 2015. Not a watercolor, but I wanted to post what I've been doing the last several days. I started one of the free Strathmore workshops, this one on stamping, and specifically making your own stamps. These are all made of Fun Foam. Some of them didn't stamp cleanly, which oddly enough makes the design look more interesting. Thursday, May 28, 2015 6:00:00 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Michelle's Watercolors: Another Gold Leaf - Irises
http://mhwatercolornotes.blogspot.com/2015/07/another-gold-leaf-irises.html
Thursday, July 09, 2015. Another Gold Leaf - Irises. My third in the series of small gold leaf florals. I'm getting better at getting the gold on without having to go back in and patch. I think I'm ready to go for a larger painting this time. This one is 7 1/2 x 11. Tuesday, August 18, 2015 5:35:00 PM. This one came out especially nice! Good job, Mickey. You do the gold leaf much better than I do. Wednesday, August 26, 2015 6:43:00 PM. Great job on this one! You are getting so good with the gold leaf.

Michelle's Watercolors: March 2014

Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Springmaid Watermedia Workshop 2014 - Days 3, 4 and 5. On Day 3 Jerry showed us several of his finished collages, ranging from total abstracts, like shape in a shape; semi-abstracts like his hill towns; and realistic, like Monet's garden. Then he sent us off to do our own thing. I started three collages and worked alternately among the three of them, finishing this semi-abstract of the Blue-Ridged Mountains with a field of weeds first. Tuesday, March 11, 2014.

Michelle's Watercolors: November 2013
http://mhwatercolornotes.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 02, 2013. In the Maine Woods. I did this painting from a photo taken at Oven's Mouth Preserve while on a hike with my sister Joan a couple of years ago. I liked the view of the water looking through the trees. 15 x 11 on Arches rough. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. My New Sketch Blog - iSketch4Fun. My Fake Journal Blog.

Michelle's Watercolors: June 2015
http://mhwatercolornotes.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. Florals with Watercolor and Gold Foil. Back in March, I took a workshop with Judy Morris, who showed us some samples of her paintings that included gold foil. I was fascinated and had to try this. These are my first two attempts. I had a bit of trouble getting complete coverage and had to resort to patching in a few spots. These are 7 1/2 x 11, and I think it's time to try something a little larger. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. My Fake Journal Blog.

Michelle's Watercolors: October 2014
http://mhwatercolornotes.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 16, 2014. Leaves and Berries.and Yellow Rose with Colorblocking. Both of these involved negative painting, and the yellow rose (the same rose that I painted traditionally in a previous post), involved designing a colorful abstract background. For the abstract rose I used new gamboge, permanent rose, and thalo blue. For the leaves, I used new gamboge, permanent rose, sap green and cobalt blue. Both are 11 x 15 on Arches.
