Watercolor Practice

  Good afternoon,

    That was strange I wrote a post-and it ended up on one of my deleted blogs-sigh Not sure how that happened. Of course copy and paste to here did Not work. 

  Last night I worked on painting-a theme I have painted in the past-sky-mountains-and a meadow in the front.  I liked this one better.

  I used mostly the watercolor gouache paints, and in the meadow the bluish green grass is ink, and the other is gouache.

On the pallet-to the left is the watercolor gouache, and to the right is watercolor paints

I softened the sky colors and also the background green in the meadow-so am pleased with that.  I had added some snow to the mountain tops but I didn't like how that looked so painted over it.

   I am more pleased with this painting than my previous ones on this subject.  Now to decide what I want to try painting next.

   This week we have been enjoying watching the pelicans and the sea gulls This time of year we get the smaller sea gulls than what we see in the spring and summer.

  I did make the chocolate bark this week along with some chex mix. I am making some things for our two workers that help us out.  This morning I mixed up some roll out cookie doughs. May try to bake some this evening.

  I searched the internet for an acid reflux friendly chex mix recipe for me-it turned out pretty good instead of onion and garlic powder I used herbs  mostly herb de provence and used less butter and less worchester sauce. I liked it much better than the original-and did not get sick from it. A good thing-smiles

  Happy weekend everyone Christmas is almost here
