praying mantis
Jazzed up water color practice today. I hate school and bugs but really enjoy drawing and painting them. Love this background but over worked the spirals. Starting to get fun.

beginner watercolor
I've been enjoying combining neurographic art with water color lessons. Have painted with watercolor for years and never watched a "how to" you tube video. Well, it hasn't worked out for me. I still can't watercolor, not like I want anyway. Took my first week of lessons on cheap paper so now I am basically starting over with 100% cotton paper. They say the paints and water work differently on the cotton paper. Even though I have collected at least five pads of this expensive arches cold press 300gm 140 lb paper it is against everything in me to use it for lessons. My husband told me to use it and that if I run out he will buy me some more. So silly I know. I'm not preciouis with my stuff and eat off the fine china everyday. Just have a thing about this paper! Maybe that is why I've never been sucessful.
