February painting challenge - Day 1


WATERPAINTING
IN MY SKETCHBOOK
Défi de Peinture Leslie Saeta
Fevrier, un excellent mois pour commencer un nouveau Défi de peinture! Travailler un peu à tous les jours pour garder la main et ne pas s'ennuyer. Ce qui risque fort d'arriver quand l'hiver s'éternise.
Je commence le mois avec un visage fait à l'aquarelle et un peu d'encre.  Pas vraiment un bon papier mais c'est un nouveau sketchbook et je ferai encore quelques essais avant de décider quoi faire avec.

Voici le Défi de Peinture Leslie Saeta.

February is a very good month to start a new Painting Challenge.   Working a little everyday is a very good way to keep in shape and have a pleasant time. At this time of the year winter is still raging outside and time spent in my studio is always appreciated.
Here is Day 1 done in a new sketchbook, not so good paper. I'll give it a few tries though.
Time for Leslie Saeta's February Painting Challenge.

Congratulations on the new challenge. I am not diciplined enough to stick with it. I guess I don't want it bad enough because I have not trouble sticking to the diet I am on.

So nice to hear from you Myra! I can’t wait to see all your splendid creations.

Martine, je ne sais pas si je dois recommander ce papier ou non. C’est une acquisition à $4 au Dollarama , un sketchbook avec spirale et le papier semble être pour Aquarelle, mais il est mince et aucune marque sur le paquet. Mais pour dessiner ce papier est sûrement parfait. Bonne soirée!

Thanks Chris for your support! Hugs
