I 'm linking up to Artsyville's Glue-It Tuesdays
I had started a painting on a page in my art journal but lost interest fast.
I thought I would use that as a base for this composition.

I get great satisfaction out of the fact that
I can use all these little bits together.
 |
| I did add some addtional paint to the purple bits, they looked too plain to me |

Another project I am working on involves this book I have WaterPaperPaint and I have tried a number of the projects.
This one is Project 20:
 |
| the edges of the artwork don't appear perfectly straight, I'll have to flatten in some books. |
Of course, as I do with most instructions and recipes,
I don't read all the way through...[shocker]
I was supposed to use black paper or matte black acrylic to start but I just used black gouache.
So it got a bit tricky and easily muddied up the brighter gouache colors.
So next time I will be sure to use acrylic, then I won't have to go over alot of the elements to brighten them up.
I am tempted to cut this up and make four ATCs but I think I am going to leave it.

A few spring-y things:

| Happy Easter, Happy Spring! |
Have a terrific weekend and enjoy!
Take care,

Your glue it tuesday page is so light and airy. Then the project from your book is much darker.
The two projects are so different! {:-Deb
Love this... great composition, Fran!!
WHAT FUN!!
Looks very inspiring. :]
Enjoy the process & the warmer "spring" days ahead. ~xx
You are so cute....just diving in, then finding out later...oops, should've read the whole lesson....heehee!
It is beautiful, nonetheless! As is your spirit :)
Your watercolor "scraps" are lovely, and you've created a beautiful composition with them. I have the Water Paper Paint book, too, and have wanted to spend some more time with it. Thanks so much for your blog visit and comment for Glue It Tuesday!
What a lovely array of Spring goodness. Love your watercolor scraps. I always like working with the little bits best - they feel like special treasures.
I am a shocker for not reading instructions... leads to some disasters at times, but more often then not it works out... and this looks awesome so i would put this in the success category big time.... glad you are getting some glimpses of spring...xx
perfect! love!
I love that watercolour collage. So light and soft but yet fun and bright too--a perfect balance. Thanks for sharing your Water Paper Paint experiment. Looks like great fun. Can't wait to see what else you make! xx
