First Snowdrop Sighting of 2023

 

The first snowdrop sighting is always a highlight of January.  I commemorated this year's first sighting in an older teeny tiny journal I found on the shelf.  I made this journal in one of Joanne Sharpe's classes and I added a little collage before painting the snowdrops.  Lots of fun!

Teeny Tiny Landscape Journal

I attended a live Watercolors Made Simple workshop and and was captivated by what Nicki was doing over the Christmas holidays.  She wanted to do something a little different and turned to making small watercolor journals.  They were beautiful and inspiring, so I decided  to do the same.

One of my favorite watercolor techniques is wet-on-wet landscapes, so I'm devoting an entire journal to doing them.

This one was inspired by this week's photo from the Creighton Online Spiritual Retreat I'm doing right now.  I can see there might be a lot of sunset paintings in this journal.
