Rainbow Warrior

I was glancing on You Tube and found this amazing Watercolor artist, Agnes Cecile.



I haven't painted in awhile and found watercolor painting difficult.  I took a class, but the instructor could not teach.  Between trying to find a babysitter and the class not being what I hoped for...I fizzled out.  I tried at home, but moved on to other things.  When I watched this video I decided to give it another try. 

This video also gave me insight-a lot slower! lol


I will dabble again. I guess I will name her Rainbow Warrior...since this is my new nickname for all artists~

 
I wish I had erased the lines, I tried after...didn't work.  Try, try again...  Have you tried anything new lately?   Do try something new....I DARE YOU!

Fantastic..love her colours too!
This is beautiful! I find that the BYW class inspires me to review not just my blog but other areas of my life as well and I keep coming back to my dream of playing the piano again. Perhaps, like your watercolors, it is just a matter of "where there is a will"

I love her. I like watercolor, but I'm not great at it. I think that it is harder than acrylics, but worth it. Keep trying and I will too.

I always love creative painters like this one. I also love watching people who paint with coffee powder or sand... those are magnificent too.

I find it most fascinating. Not tried watercolor for sometime now. Might just do it after this. Thanks for sharing, Ella!

I can't see the lines.
Watercolor is one of the most difficult mediums because it's hard to contain and control.

Water is an active partner in watercolor and it makes for an exciting medium. I LOVE the video and your nickname for artists. :)

Such a beautiful portrait, and I especially like the free form of the peachy-colored cheek.

I like it, lines and all. We feel the process and authenticity of artist and art. Really nice, Ella!
