I grew up along the banks of the Susquehanna River where it empties into the top of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Water, water, water everywhere....how did I end up in dry as a bone Tucson? Answer: Love.
I've had this image for a long while, it's from an adult coloring
book. I used Prang watercolor, not high end- but works fine. I needed
more browns and greys than my Peerless set or Inktense pencils offer. I like
it very much, except it's so incredibly traditional. I went back and
muted all the buildings around the lighthouse and added yellows to
emphasize it. I printed multiple copies, so I painted
another set of birds (I fuzzy cut them) and added them to the card with
pop tape. It's hard to see but I stamped the edges of the base panel.
I've created this card for
AAA CAS Card Challenges, game 18, Watercolor. One of my favorite games!
Drop by
