Blue Bowl and Lemons
A simple still life of a bowl and lemons in watercolor. In this project you’ll practice laying a multi-colored wash connecting several “objects” into one large shape, and then defining the individual objects with smaller washes along their shared edges.

Hi Dragonfly!
I've turned off the tip jar for now. My needs are met, but many are struggling. Instead of leaving a tip here, I'm inviting you to express your gratitude by sending it back out into the world. Donate to your favorite charity (a food bank or something in support of kids who need help getting online for school would totally bring a smile to my face, if you want ideas). Or send a new box of 64 crayons or a giant sketchpad or some basic watercolor supplies to a child in your life. Or send a postcard to a senior you know who can't have visits from relatives right now. Anything that spreads a little kindness and joy would be the best thanks I could ever hope for. 🙂
Wishing you a holiday season of hope and quiet reflection, and a safe and prosperous new year!
