Trying to make peace with gouache. I bought the stuff, it’s probably not good to just keep it in a Tupperware while I feel bad about not using it.
Videos and advice by James Gurney (gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/sea…) helped a lot!
I tried blending around the begonia dots, and then I started to worry that I would ruin it at the last moment.
Why I'm trying Weebly
If something is going to look bad, I want it to be because I'm the one who made it so. :D
In other words, Weebly gives me more control over the appearance and format of my pages.
I am going to try it for a solid 6 months.
My prediction is that one of three things will happen:
1) I will hate it.
2) I will love it.
3) I will find that there are 2 different groups of people visiting my blog, and I will split into two blogs.

How to: Relatively easy watercolor color wheels
I love color wheels! What I don't love is spending ages trying to get them to look at least marginally wheel-like. Here's a relatively quick and easy to try out some colors, practice some glazing, and end up with some nice wheels for referencing. :)
I've combined the Handprint suggestions for colors, and the Gurney Journey suggestions to come up with something that works for me. I remember it with the mnemonic - You ROde My Bus Cousin Gus. It is basically the Gurney mnemonic, but I subbed in red-orange (ROde), because I find it more useful.
Materials:
watercolor supplies: paper, brushes, water, etc.something round to traceruler6 pai
Oh man, I was on a roll
It was a good roll, too - a nice comfy roll with little sesames on it and everything.
BUT this cold weather has been really hard on my health. I really had to force myself to slow down, because I have been catching so many respiratory illnesses. Stinks!
I'm cranky about it.
I have a huge pile of cards and lightfastness swatches, ready to share. I haven't forgotten. :)
