Watercolor and Monoprints

Monday's watercolor project is below:


The journal/mixed media class was fun. We did monoprints on
gallon sized plastic bags that we had taped to the table. It was a
revelation to discover that we didn't need the gel plates (although
I do own one of the small ones). My dil found this board book
at Goodwill and gave it to me. I used the monoprint technique to
cover the outside and some of the inside pages. This a WIP.



I also covered a few pieces of cardstock the same way.

Looking forward to seeing all the great art at
