Hello Everyone...
The theme of our Challenge this month is
ANYTHING BUT A CARD
ANYTHING BUT A CARD
Last year when we were all in lock-down, to help me relax and pass the time, I spent a lot of my time crafting using my water colour paints to try and practice all the different techniques. As a beginner painter, there is so much to learn.
Benjamin, my son, asked me to water colour a picture for him and turn it into his birthday card... so as you will be able to guess; his favourite fruit is watermelon... he eats so much its a wonder he doesn't look like one. And, yes, I'm biased, but he is wonderful and definitely 'one in a million, or melon' :o) He also said I had to sign it like a professional artists too, which both had us laughing.
He was made up with his birthday card and its been sat on one of his bedroom units ever since, so I decided to frame it for him for a surprise, and again, he was made up with it.
Items used...
Slice of Watermelon: Hand painted
Water colour paints: Windsor & Newton
Water colour paper: Bockingford
Red card: Paper Mill Direct
