I see all these "loose" watercolors and I try, I really do, but I end up using my watercolors just like acrylic paint. I think it's like the old adage of trying to learn to play golf and tennis at the same, they don't mix because of swing fundamentals. So, I am going to back away from painting with acrylic paints and try to focus on watercolor...at least for 24 more days.

Meanwhile I am linking up to
Paint Party Friday and I thought I'd show off my first week of
#WorldWatercolorGroup month. For those just seeing them, these are photographs of my 3½-year-old grand nephew who strikes the most interesting poses, well, at least to me they are. 😜 I always see something "extra" in them and I decided to finally do something about it by cutting them out and superimposing them onto surreal backgrounds.

ReplyDeleteI completely understand! I'm trying to learn to use acrylics but I keep wanting to use them like watercolors! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable....xx
ReplyDeletethese are adorable. when all finished you can bind them for a cute book or scrapbook or who knows what. maybe just look back and chuckle. has he seen them yet? maybe reproduce them digitally for a storybook for him. each pic could be a grand adventure. good thing he's a "poser"
ReplyDeleteWhat a riot!!! I love, love, love what you have done here, using your nephew as a jumping off place for your watercolors. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and so unique. I bet your grand nephew is going to love these as he gets older.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the watercolours...I'm sure with your talent you'll soon be a master! Happy PPF
Wow, those are amazingly creative! Great idea! What a great keepsake he will have. Are you going to put them together as a book or use them for cards? Thank you so much for sharing your talents and creativity. I hop to see more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Paint Friday!
visiting from PPF, you've done such a great job illustrating your grandson's poses, that's really difficult to get the perspective right on. They look fantastic and I bet he's thrilled as you made him look like a superhero!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely and creative :D)
ReplyDeleteYour way of incorporating your watercolor with a real picture fascinates me. It's a different way of looking at art and I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteThese made me smile SO big! LOL I LOVED them. SO cute--and I love your artwork.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. . .he is a cutie. Blessings, Janet
