I am following simultaneously The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron and Watercolor is for Everyone, by Kateri Ewing. Here are the exercises and practice paintings I completed since Sunday.

I hope you check out the referenced artists, especially if you feel the need for a boost to your creativity.
I received some new paint colors this week and it’s time to see what they look like. So I did a little free exploration.
Olive green and burnt umber have been added to my palette.
I splashed them on Stonehenge 100% cotton paper with ultramarine blue, quinacridone red, quinacridone gold, and alizarin crimson. While still wet I worked in some metallic gold.
Here I am trying out a new brush. It is a 1/4 inch dagger, very soft, and shaped like a, well, a dagger.
The paper was first splashed with water, causing the lines to break up and run down the paper. I pulled the brush through the center of the curves to carry the blue all the way down. After the paper dried, I added a few lines with extra-fine Micron pens.
Wonder what I will do tomorrow?
Loose and colorful poinsettia, completed at open studio today. I used a limited palette of lemon yellow, Winsor green and quinacridone red. To finish, I splashed on some metallic yellow paint in a starburst pattern.
