Super Saturday

I worked on my Five Musicians again today. I found a great photo I took years ago when I visited my son Ed and family in Washington. We went to a kite festival.  So I added some kites to the painting.

Then I designed a small 4 x 5 painting using watercolor paint, watercolor pencils and pen.

Several of us started our Ukrainian Eggs. We drew on the eggs with pencil any design we chose Then we applied bee’s wax using a special electric tool.  Next week we will color them using special dyes.

Paste Paper

Today I took a break from my watercolor painting and played with Paste Paper. You apply a coat of a mixture of glue and acrylic paint on a sheet of paper.  Then draw designs with scraping tools. It was a wonderful sunny day. The trees were covered with snow. Outside on the top of a big pat were at least fifty black birds staring at me through my big windows.
