Online Watercolor class

This was done all freehand!
And...it was done mixing my own colors.
I am using Koi watercolors, I mixed a blue and a green.
The colors you see are not the true blue or true green because they have been mixed to get either blue/green or green/blue!!
I added a bit of silver metallic thread behind the sentiment which is the new Bold Blossoms set from PTI embossed with Zing aqua powder.

Thanks for taking a look!
Heart Hugs!

Very pretty and I love the colors you made. I am hoping to pick up a couple of tube watercolors tomorrow. I have the Gansai Tambi, so if I don't I can still do homework.

This background is beautiful, and I just love the colors!!! Freehand and your own color mixes.... you should be teaching, not taking the class!

Look at you go, Colleen!! This is fabulous and so is your other homework! I may have already told you that I didn't sign up for this one because I have three others in the queue, but you are making me want to add this class to my list! I'll be watercoloring the whole of this year, one class after the other!! Thank you for the inspiration, as always!! Hugs, Darnell
