Water Colour - The Painted Rose

Hello everyone 😊

I have caught a bug!

A bug called water colour painting!

I recently visited a close friend who has some STUNNING roses growing in her garden.

I took some photo's for inspiration

Dianne's Roses


I have been working with water colours over the last week for another blog that will go LIVE on the 17th of Dec 2017.

I have always had a tendency to paint or draw, but many years ago I aquired a brain injury that dulled that side of my personality. 
I have found that side of my craftiness has resurfaced for short periods of time over the last few years while card making. . 
The last few weeks that "URGE or NEED" to paint has grown Soooo much stronger.
I finally gave into it yesterday and started a small project, but with serious intent.
I thought, why not paint a small image and mount it as a card.
And to tell the truth water colour is the easiest and most forgiving medium to restart my painting efforts.

I admit I still have a loooong way to go before I am at the level I felt I was many years ago, but I am over the moon to know that I still have a drop of talent left.

Below is a shot of the near finished work before final touches and mounting.

Now to hopefully keep painting and improving on my efforts.

In Progress



Below is the finished card.
I do hope you like it.

I am seriously thinking I might keep this card! I feel an emotional attachment developing hahaha. Downside of art.


I have a list of all colours used to create my water colour with, in the carousel below..
The carousel is linked directly to my store
