Watercolors, Paints and Glue OH MY!

I have delved into the world of paints!  Water color and acrylic paints!  I never in a million years considered myself a painter but here goes nothing.  Started simple and so enjoyed drawing and painting.  I came off the page with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots!  I had so much fun with this one and actually sat back and liked my own work!  (seriously that never happens!).  I have had several emails with requests to list my Supply List so I will try to be better:

MATERIALS LIST:

• Paints - Watercolor Crayons
• Paints - Acrylic Paint (DecoArt)
• Adhesives - Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots
• Charcoal Penciel
• Decoupage - Helmar
• Indian Ink & Nib
• Flowers - Michael's (just plucked off the plastic stems)

Letting myself even hand write in my journal which is a whole new technique as I have never been a big fan of my handwriting.  I am letting a bit of that perfection go.  I even smudged it at the end and moved on. 

Oh!  I have even started altering my watercolor Gratitude Journal! This is the journal and the Helmar glues I have lined up......

 

Remember this is a plain 'ole watercolor pad I bought at Blick Art Supplies.  I bet some painting might show up in that one.  You can use a simple notebook, composition book, etc.  I am photographing the process of creating it.  I hope that a few others will join me in this simple endeavor!  Have a great weekend!
