This week for Watercolor Wednesdays, I used a technique that I’ve never tried before, glazing. For those who don’t know, glazing is where you build up thin layers of color instead of just laying down one color from the beginning (which is what I usually do). It was fun, but frustrating to wait for layers to dry, and of course I cheated a few times and painted before a layer was completely dry (I couldn’t help myself).
Here it is; the original is a bit brighter. What do you think?

Next time I try glazing, I’m going to try mixing more colors through layering.

Cute! I’m still in love with that Blue Moooon shirt.

My picture of it came out fuzzy, though.
Very pretty and bright!
Wow – I really like how the colors turned out; it’s much brighter than I imagined it would be.
Thanks Jo! If you email me your address, I’ll send you a Blue Moo card
I know I have your address somewhere. I just can’t find it.
Thanks Kelly!
Thanks Amy! My colors are pretty bright; I just can’t seem to help myself!
I love it!! I love the kitty stalking in the grass.
Thanks Courtney! Stalking kitties are always fun to see, but not so much when they’re sneaking up on you.
