When I haven’t been enjoying the weather outdoors, I have been viewing painting tutorials on Lindsay Weirich’s site.

Also known as the Frugal Crafter, Lindsay is very generous with her knowledge of water color painting and teaches her art through videos on her WordPress blog as well as her Teachable site. I chose the Texture Toolbox: Feather and Fur lessons. This is an intermediate course, but I feel ready for it. Here is my result from lesson 1

And here is lesson two: A little sparrow fluffing up her feathers after a bath.

I’m pretty happy with both of these pieces.
Today the weather is still stunningly beautiful. My husband has gone fishing. I will likely spend the day gardening. There are seeds to plant and flowers to pick.
I hope you enjoy your day. You know it will never come again.
