Wow, I don't know where the time has gone. I have been so busy with school that it has been 3 weeks since I worked in the studio.
This week I worked on drawing I started a few years ago but never added watercolour. I prefer to draw on tracing paper then use graphite paper to trace my drawing on to the watercolour paper.
I used my new Dewert Inktense pencils instead of traditional watercolours. They have vived pigments and once dry are permanent.

I lightly added color in a few places on my drawing. I always start with my lighter colors first. I used a 12 round brush to activate and wash the color across the piece. I used my heat gun to dry the paper between colors to take advantage of the Inktense permanentcy.
How to use the final piece on a canvas was a challenge for me. I decide to keep the background simple and added my word for the year "explore"! Now the canvas is ready to take to school, I teach 5th grade Science and Math, where I can be reminded to continue to take risk and explore.
