Day 41 - 365 Day Challenge

27 April 2011

We're not even going to talk about the missing days. It's enough to say, I survived! Ugh. (Seems some kind of stomach thing is going around.)

After breakfast this morning, weak as a kitten, i went in for my PT. Yea!! No weights! Then i went and walked off the muscle cramps (either breakfast or adrenaline had kicked in) and then headed for my studio. I did a bit of "redecorating" by adding these tool caddies to my drafting table. (Anyone recognise them cause i can't remember where i got them and i would like some more.)


Worked on my Doorway watercoloring. (update and add pic) I have to say that i like painting at an esael a lot more than at a table. It is awefully on my back!

Once again i ran into a point where i thought the directions should be rewritten. While i love the sketches involved with thi book, at this point, i would have to say i would not reccommend it for someone who is trying to learn from a book; a do-it-yourselfer.

I recieved a surprise in my Mailbox Muse package yesterday and i couldn't wait to tear into it! It's the cutest little kit; Floral Gallery. It contains everything you need; 4 canvases, 4 black foam boards for backing, a practice canvas, instrucion booklet, 5 watercolor pencils, a paintbrush, a pencil sharpener, ribbon and tape for making a hanger.

In concentrated bliss i made a color board mixing the differnet colors (one layer, two or more) and then adding water to see the "end" results. Now i have to decide a) if i want to use the colors provided or do my own thing b) what colors i want to do my flowers. Do i want to stay realistic or go off into imagination!
