Day 145: Cactus in Acrylic and Watercolor on Watercolor paper

I saw a cool technique a few days ago on how to use some filtering in Photoshop to make a paint by number project. It didn’t work perfect but it was a cool exercise and fun.

Day 144: Abstract Diptych in Watercolor on Watercolor paper

Day 143: Icicles in Watercolor on Watercolor paper

It’s still cold and after some hibernating earlier today my creativity is hiding.

Day 142: Abstract Penguin in Watercolor on Watercolor paper

It’s cold.

Day 141: Doodle Cat Fish in Watercolor and Sharpie on Watercolor Paper

You just never know … You start with a flower and end up with a funky animal of sorts.

Day 139: Peacock in Watercolor and Sharpie on Watercolor Paper

This was inspired by some henna tattoo designs I saw today.

Day 137: Abstract Diptych in Watercolor and Salt on Watercolor Paper

Playing with the watercolors and salt again. These are each 4″x4″. I love experimenting.

Day 132: Piedras Blancas Lighthouse in Watercolor on Watercolor Paper

A very loose painting of my interpretation of the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse in San Simeon, CA. Just up the road from the Elephant Seal Rookery. Maybe I should do an elephant seal next.

Day 130: Birds of Paradise in Watercolor on Watercolor Paper

I have always loved this flower.

Day 2: Watercolor Abstract Flowers

After doing a little research I found a fun lesson for creating abstract flowers. I did not have any gesso so I improvised with titanium white acrylic paint. The size is 6″ x 9″. Here is the link for anyone interested in following the lesson. http://www.carlasonheim.com/abstracted-flowers/
