Watercolor Journaling Sketches
Barbara wanted to journal her 15 month-old daughter - who we see above thoroughly enjoying Mama's pots and pans as toys... Notice above how Barbara has set apart the watercolor sketches of her sleeping dog and the waterlily by using a "frames" design outlined with a micron pen.
Page division with drawings to paint at a later time.
Barbara had to train herself to work fast - and she practiced quick drawings to capture the unlimited energy of her baby! - again we see how she divides the page with little framed drawings - small, simple, strong.
Big and Bold!
Sarah loves color (can you tell?)! She was at a place in her life where she wanted to work big in an expressive manner. If fact, she asked if she could work with acrylics because it was easier to produce intense color right away without successive layers. I was so glad she worked like this - you can see how her colors mirror the joy that spills out of her when she paints - Sarah brought a new and exciting dimension to what we normally consider "watercolor journaling"!
