Happy Fifth Anniversary to WOYWW - What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, hosted by Julia at stamping-ground.blogspot.com.
This week I'm playing around with gesso and watercolor paintings again. The one below I had started and finally added the green leaves last week. Unfortunately in acrylic paint rather than watercolor. O.o
I have a small acrylic set in small tubes that look very similar to my inexpensive watercolor set. And I used the acrylic by mistake... on three different watercolor paintings. Sheesh!
I'm actually amazed I got it looking watercolor-ish, however am not sure how it will work out from here. I've added a layer of watercolor over the top and we'll see what happens when it dries.
This is the Lewisia WIP - I've added a layer of yellow watercolor (yes, it IS watercolor), let it dry and then added a layer of blue. It's almost dry and ready for the next layer. I realized that I forgot to leave the blue off where the petals will go... *rolls eyes*
I apparently love a challenge. :D

Happy 5th anniversary WOYWW! It's always so much fun to experiment and challenge yourself, isn't it! You certainly seem to be having fun! Lindart #113
As a total non-painter, your flowers and leaves look great together, to me! I hope the other piece turns out the way you want it, too. Have a lovely week, Chris # 15 xx
