A Day to Celebrate

Having recently delved into the wonderful world of watercolor pencils and crayons, I decided to use the same image for each medium in order to make a comparison . . .


Last week’s post showed coloring done with watercolor pencils. Today’s post shows the results with watercolor crayons.  The colors are richer and more intense and as such, will probably be my most frequent go-to.  But I do love both mediums, especially the fact that color is best applied with the technique of a no-talent scribbler.  After coloring about a third of, say, a petal, I then use my waterbrush in circular motions to move the color where I want it.  So easy and very relaxing . . .
