As I started this piece, it was going to be a watercolor. The more I worked on it, the more I desired getting out the watercolor pencils - I am spoiled! I LOVE them! I lightly drew this with a #2 pencil and then wet the entire surface of the paper and dropped in burnt sienna, paynes grey, davey's grey, naples yellow and pthalo blue, wet-in-wet. At this point the watercolor pencils started calling to me and before I knew it, there they were - sitting on the table. Soooo - this is a combination watercolor/watercolor pencil painting for day #5 in my quest for 90 works in 90 days!
Welcome to Barb's Daily Creations! I have lofty ambitions - I want to post a new drawing or painting every day. The purpose of this, of course is to stay creative and on task artistically even when I may not feel the muses calling, prodding and pushing. I hope that you enjoy my humble efforts, because, ultimately, that is the purpose of creating art - to enrich lives - mine and yours. Thanks for visiting!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.

I like the combination. Isn't it wonderful to feel the freedom to use whatever we want for our art? Great painting.
Very pretty and so nice that you enjoyed the process, going with your inclination.
Thanks, Norena and Kathy!
I really do like to work with the combination of watercolors and watercolor pencils.
Barb, I love this - the combination works so well, grab those watercolor pencils whenever you want!
