 hello!  I am SO excited to show you what I've been painting lately. I've been doing a lot of loose wet-on-wet floral doodles with this watercolor set I got last year. these lil guys are excellent! the paint is not chalky like watercolors ive used before & the colors are vibrant. I also really like the size and variety of colors - the only critique I have is that there's no purple and the green is a lil artificial looking...but those problems can be solved with the magic of color mixing anyway. the work of artist Carolyn Gavin has always been very appealing to me and I have used her as an example for kids' classes and adults' classes. her work is so fun and colorful! anyway, I love trying to kind of reference her floral designs in watercolor.    this ⬆️ is me sorta doing that. lately ive been getting more experimental with it, just piecing shapes together and letting the colors blur here's some more floral stuff ⬆️  here I used a ballpoint pen to draw some ...
