Just a quick watercolor sketch of my constant model: a sea shell. I think I'm going to take the schminke watercolor box with me on the road trip because I have more colors in it than the W&N travel one.

About Me
- mARTa
- I am a 52 year old middle age woman (middle because I plan to live to be 100 years old!). I pursue a passionate life and savor every moment I am here. I have been given many gifts of family, love, vocation and talent. I love people, especially the young children with cancer whom I am privledged to care for as a pediatric oncology RN. I balance the difficult work I do with fun things like traveling to far away places, learning new languages ( I speak 4 now), knitting, quilting, reading, and being an outdoor girl: hiking, kayaking and camping. Just sketching and painting my way through the world before me. I hope you enjoy your visit here.

Beautiful shading on the seashell. Love the squash blossom below too. Have fun on your trip!!!
A seashell is a great "constant model"--with their curves and subtle coloration, you can study them endlessly.
Love your light, pulsing version!
Beautiful! Do you love your schminke watercolors better than your Winsor Newtons?
Thank you all! Linda, I actually have different brands of paint (all artist grade) in both boxes. It's just that my W&N travel box hold only about 12 half pans while my small metal schminke holds about 30+. So more choices with that one. I mostly own w&n and schminke wc. have some Holbein, Dan Smith and cheap joe's also.
Have fun on the road trip and keep us informed with your cute iphone!

Love the colors you've brought out of your shell. It glows!
Hope you have a lovely trip!
