Fabulous Flowers



Revisiting a post from December 2011 that I posted on my squarespace site that I no longer support.

 I’ve been a bit busy in ISP land….you see my internet was only giving me 1.5 mb upload and download speed….noticed by my son who was home for a visit.  If I’m a-uploading, he gets kicked off of his “score-keeping” games…so he took it upon himself to do a little research.  I have now switched over to another local company for LESS money.  I now have 20.0 mb speed.  Don’t quote me on the mb??? could be gb for all I know.



Coloring book style starting point.

Since, I really want to sketch…but haven’t found the right picture…I thought I’d do something quick and easy!

I think there’s something magical about watercolor pencils and vibrant markers side by side.  I think they bring out the best in each other.

This picture just makes me happy!! Red and Green together…they belong together like salt and pepper, pen and paper, socks and shoes!!

Aerial view….haha

I took 22 shots of my work-in-progress, then I edit them down to what I want you to see.  Here’s the seventh picture in this post.  Lucky Seven!

    Thanks guys :)
    @Deb- no problem with outlining the watercolor parts with a waterproof black marker...like the faber-castel ones or microns. I usually go in and outline after the watercolor has dried. Makes the black more bold!

    You're so good at doing these flower pictures. I love this one. And all those little circles in the background! That took some time!

    this is wonderful! i would never have thought to use watercolor pencil and markers in the same picture. i've got to try it! and when your son gets all finished fixing up your internet speed, could you send him on over to my house? ;)
