Friday Catch Up 23 7 21

 World Watercolour Month

I'll be honest, I've not done every prompt this month. I don't know whether it is the prompts that are not inspiring me or because the weather has been so hot. No excuse because we don't have to stick with the prompts, I guess I just couldn't be bothered.

The prompt for this was tactile so I thought of my velvet cushions which one can't help but stroke. I did a very simplified version of the cushion as you can see from the image below.
The design for the cushion was a an original watercolour by me which I had printed by Spoonflower on velvet fabric.

Catch Up Friday 9 7 21

World Watercolour Month

Breathe

Wings

Gnarled

Little Table

I've got a little table which was getting rather scruffy so I thought I would paint it, but that didn't work so I thought I would try decoupage. I did the legs first using pages from old books, art work, prints etc I didn't think about the top until I came to do it but decided I wanted something different to the legs. I had a sheet of double sided paper and used that. I cut a section of the blue side and put it on the grey side matching up the pattern. 






As it is Friday it must be Paint Party Friday! Have a great weekend.

Watercolour Paintings

 It's World Watercolour Month

founded by the creator of Doodlewash

31 watercolours in 31 days

These are mine so far

Day 5 Milestone



Day 1 Reflection, Day 2 Momentum
I was behind so I did two in one for the first few

Day 3 Dainty, Day 4 Splatter

Day 6 is Memory - I couldn't think what to do for this so I did a poppy seed head but I was thinking later that it could be a memory of the beautiful poppies I had in my garden last month.

Tag and Doodlewash

 I felt like doing something a little different to what I've been doing lately so I did a tag for Tag Tuesday.

The theme at the moment is Tag on Tag.


I've got my usual watercolour sketches for Doodlewash

Lavender
It's the last one for this month because I combined several together.

All the prompts for the month are on these two pages.



I most often post on a Tuesday but I am early this week because I am expecting my mum and sister to stay from tomorrow so I'll probably not get a chance to do it.

Catch Up Friday 25 6 21

 Doodlewash Watercolour Challenge

Hamburger and Fries
Iris

Paint with Wax Resist altered in Photoshop
then made into a repeating pattern



Painted Skirt
Can anyone remember the skirt that I painted?
I used Inktense Blocks and Pencils and they claim to be permanent when dry. Well I claim to differ, they are not. I washed my skirt on the handwash mode with a delicate liquid in my washing machine and hey presto the flowers have faded. It does still have some washed out colour but all the fine details are gone. This is what it looks like now.


This is what it was like



I put in a lining a couple of weeks ago too. 
I could buy some fabric pens and go over it or I could embroider it or leave it as it is, what do you think? My husband prefers the faded version.


It's come around again - it's Paint Party Friday

The same abstract but in different colours/effects by using neural filter in photoshop



This abstract was painted on the tablet, then I used the neural filter in photoshop and got these results after copying and mirroring i.e four of the above.


repeating again so there are eight of the original
