Adventures in Art, Product Design, Home Decor, Cooking, and Gardening
For her second painting, my daughter chose to create another version of the same calla lily she painted last week. Her plan is to create a series featuring the same painting–using different colors, techniques, and mediums. It’s a great way to experiment with color, mediums, and painting techniques. I think it’s a fabulous idea. But then I think everything she does is awesome 🙂 Watercolors and acrylic ink on hot pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.
Here is another painting my mom completed during our Mother’s Day watercolor fest. The improvement between her first and second painting is remarkable. She really rocked this painting. She’s a regular grandma Moses. This painting tutorial was featured in Michael Lakin’s book, “Botanical Flowers in Watercolor.” Watercolors on hot pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.
Here’s another painting I completed during our Mother’s Day watercolor fest. This was a lesson featured in Fiona Peart’s book, “Vibrant Flowers in Watercolor.” Watercolors on hot pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.
My daughter, Greta, painted these gorgeous poppies during our Mother’s Day watercolor fest. The improvement between this painting and her earlier watercolor paintings is remarkable. And her timing is perfect–I can’t wait to show you how I plan to feature her painting in my upcoming Tangerine Tango home makeover. Watercolors on hot pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.
My mother, daughter, and I enjoyed a three-generation watercolor fest this Mother’s Day weekend. We sat at the kitchen table and painted the day away. We had a great time. I hope my daughter will look back on the time we spent painting together with fond memories. This is my mom’s first watercolor painting. I think it’s totally awesome. Wait until you see her second painting–yep I convinced her to paint another one. The improvement between the two paintings is amazing.

I hope everyone is enjoying this fine Mother’s Day weekend. The weather was beautiful here today. I started out the day with a lovely Mother’s Day breakfast with my daughter, sister, and mother, followed that up with a brief shopping spree, then ended the day with a joint painting session with my daughter. We convinced my mother to join in on the fun, and she painted her first watercolor painting. I’ll be posting copies of their paintings next. Tonight I’m giving myself top billing since today is my special day. This was another lesson featured in Fiona Peart’s book, “Tulips in Watercolor.” Watercolors on hot pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.
Here’s my version of the same painting my daughter finished earlier this week–a watercolor lesson featured in Fiona Peart’s book, “Tulips in Watercolor.” Watercolors on hot pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.
Watercolors, micron pen, and acrylic ink on cold pressed Canson Aquarelle/Acuarela paper. Another painting my daughter finished during our joint painting session this week. How amazing is she? I just love this. I’ll be posting one of my paintings tomorrow. For step-by-step instructions on completing this project pick up a copy of the book, “Botanical Flowers in Watercolor” by Michael Lakin.
My daughter and I are really enjoying our joint painting sessions. Here’s a peek at her latest painting–a project she picked out of my new book “Tulips in Watercolor” by Fiona Peart. She was experimenting with a much looser style today. It was a speedy painting; it took her less than an hour to complete but the results are stunning. Okay, I may be a bit biased.

I turned around after loading the dishwasher this afternoon and found my Yorkie, Steve, watching me from his perch on the kitchen table. I guess he wanted to get a better view. Ah, the trials and tribulations of owning a Yorkie. They are delightful little troublemakers. Before I shooed him off the table, I grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots for posterity.
