Watercolor Pomegranates Card Craft
We are ushering in the wonderful holiday of Sukkot tomorrow night, and I am still crafting (of course) so you may also be in need of a sweet way to make some holiday cards or placecards? My daughter made this for me as a Rosh HaShana card, and it is just so sweet I had to share it with you! A branch of apples and pomegranates could work for Succot, or even Tu B’Shevat, the new year for fruit bearing trees, so if you don’t have time for it now, keep it in mind! I love the little touch of gold leaf, right? Okay, lets get started on this, time…

Watercolor Blue And White Vases With Flowers
Summer is the perfect time to delve into something new, and if you can take it with you, all the better! So friends, consider starting a sketchbook, keeping in mind that it is about creative growth not perfection, and I can promise you, it is a very very worthwhile journey, and so very satisfying, trust me! This watercolor paper sketchbook of mine was started two years ago on a vacation in Sweden, and I have been slowly adding art to the pages, most recently, art created with watercolors, ahhhhh. And guess what friends, if you don’t like the results, so paint an acrylic paint painting over it, and voila, that…

Simple Watercolor Leaves To Paint For Shavuot!
As you know, I love to create with a wide variety of media, and recently I’ve been devoting just a tiny pocket of time to filling my watercolor paper art journal with simple watercolor paintings. Check out my watercolor carrots, watercolor feathers and watercolor ferns. It is true, I’m loving the watercolor exploration as it is a relief from the intense oil pastel paintings I’ve been doing, though to create the kind of art I love with watercolors I’d need to combine them with acryla gouache and also get some liquid watercolors with intense colors, ah yes and huge pieces of watercolor paper! That said, my little travel watercolor palette…

Simple Watercolor Feathers To Paint Today, For Lag B’Omer!
Tonight we welcome the festive holiday of Lag B’Omer, so why not carve out a tiny window of time to paint some watercolor feathers? It is true Lag B’Omer generally brings to mind images of bonfires and bows and arrows, but I’d say feathers, which are used to write the Torah, and certainly the Zohar, originally, are a perfect symbol as well! Plus, feathers are just so fun to paint, and I ended up filling two pages in my watercolor journal with them, and can’t wait to paint more, next time in a mix of rainbow colors or pastels, we’ll just have to wait and see! If I had the…

A Peek In My Sketchbook: Simple Glass Bottles With Flowers
Sometimes a super simple waterproof ink pen sketch filled in with some watercolor paint can look fresh and fun. After all of the floral sketches I did in various sketchbooks this summer, the time came to introduce some color, and this is the result……not a work of art, but a sweet illustration that one can do rather quickly, even in this large A4 sketchbook! Of course, first practice drawing flowers that you love, then practice drawing simple glass bottles, and then bring them together, and that is it. A sketch like this could be done in so many ways, with a variety of flowers as I did, one with just…
