Watercolor Chart

I used 3 tubes of paint

one yellow

one red

one blue

all Daniel Smith

I taped down cheap washi tape from the dollar store

(use good tape! It kept peeling off)

the squares are about 3/4" with thin tape between

I labeled my colors along the top 

and

one side

next began mixing colors

then the color mixing began

painting in the squares

Above is the finished piece before I peeled the tape off.

It might have taken a couple of hours.

I find the amount of colors

144 amazingly beautiful 

and 

thrilling to consider they came from three

primary colors!

Now I have a chart to choose colors from

as well

an idea as to how to make them again>

Thank you The Watercolour Academy for showing me how to go 

about this!

(Emma offers these lessons free!)

Dreaming of Spring

this is what showed up while sketching

I wondered..... what is going on here

a snowshoe hare turn white in winter 

browns the rest of the year

a winter rabbit in a spring/summer setting?

I believe this hare is dreaming of spring

today we are half way through winter

the days are noticeably longer

the birds stay out and busy a bit longer in the day

Life is full of changes

this is how it was before I painted it

Lovely Imbolc to one and all
