A new medium

Watercolors are not my usual pick when I'm feeling artsy, but my mom was sweet enough to send me a set with some brushes so I'm experimenting! I was a doofus and sketched a few ideas out on regular drawing paper instead of heavy watercolor paper, so I had some trouble with absorption.

  2. Hey keep this up, Alice. I love this student portrait. I have just discovered your wonderful blog and I think I will entertain myself by reading everything. I don't blog much any more. Instead I do my monthly newsletter. Say yes and I'll send you my March one. Happy happy to you!
