Description
It's been years since I showed children in the classroom how to paint using wet colored tissue paper. So I thought I'd try using some wet tissue paper for my watercolor painting today because the ladies in one of my my art classes wanted to know how to do it. After I used the wet tissue paper to lay down the main colors, I used water soluble wax pastels to outline and fill in some of the details .
You may wonder why I chose butterflies and flowers as my subject matter in the middle of winter. I guess because I'm already looking forward to the spring... even though it's still many months away.
Although I enjoy waking up in the morning to find another layer of snow making everything white, I still remember how beautiful green grass is. I look forward to spring flowers and butterflies. I look forward to these new beginnings. But for right now I'll bloom where I'm planted.♥
