The viola was painted on Yupo paper. It is a challenging surface but also forgiving. If you don't like something you can just wash off and start over!
This little piece was done on Strathmore precut watercolor paper. 5x7 is a nice size to use if you choose to make a greeting card.
Well best go for now I hear the garden calling. So glad you took a moment to stop by.
Have a lovely week.

Yes, yupo is quite a challenge. Looks like you did well on it. The small painting on watercolor paper would be nice framed or as a card for some lucky recipient. I hope you enjoyed your gardening as well as your painting. Have a wonderful week, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are gorgeous, Debbie! And I love the scripture you are sharing. I am so happy to see your paintings, dear friend. I hope you have a fantastic week! Hugs. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, all of them! I can see that the garden and promise of Spring is calling to you. Enjoy the week:)

Love them. I can almost feel your serenity. If it would just stay warm, I too need to do much in the garden.
ReplyDeleteLovely signs of spring. I so admire anyone who gardens as I've never tried it more than a few plants in pots on the deck. Happy spring!
ReplyDeleteI am just awed by the depth, the flowers coming right out of the paper. So beautiful, Debbie, truly! Such a breath of spring time air!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work!!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely paintings
ReplyDeleteHappy Gardening!
Refreshing and cheering Spring flowers, Debbie! Always so heartening to see the earth come alive again! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteYou are a fine artist! I love your paintings. Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. They have an old-fashioned feeling that's very appealing!
ReplyDeleteI've only tried yupo paper once, in a long-ago art class, and I found it nearly impossible to work with. I hope I'd have a better experience now. I'm impressed by how your painting came out! Love all the pretty flowers of spring you're painting.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, yes, life is like a string of beads. Each one is different, like the different days or stages in our lives.
ReplyDeleteSome brilliant shiny, some dull, and some really outstanding.
I have this painting in a frame and see it everyday.
As for you girlfriend, I love your little paintings, and funny thing I just saw these papers today in Michaels.
Hello Debbie, it's really delightful to see your paintings again. They're so pretty and and full of happiness. Your garden must be full of pretties now for your inspiration :D)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant start of season with sweet watercolor bloom!!!Hugs,dear Debbie.
ReplyDeleteGood day Debbie, your florals are lovely as always. Viola was my maternal grandmother's name and I've never heard of another person with that name. It's nice to see the flower she was named after. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful peek at Spring! So very lovely.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful. How convenient that the Yupo paper can be washed off to begin again!
