That would be BEAUTIFUL!.

Paint whatever is in your heart- you could paint anything, really!. You could paint it literally, or more abstractly!. I lean towards painting abstractly- I love that!. You can paint how something makes you feel, what colors and general shapes it is, or even how it smells or tastes!.

Find your own way to express what you'd like - If you love it, that's what counts!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am trying something new with my watercolors that I started tonight!. I had an Ampersand Aquabord that I wrecked!. So I painted it over with black acrylic gesso!. I wasn't sure how that was going to work with watercolors, but I thought I'd give it a try!. I have some specialized paints that I got from an online art supply house!. They formulate their own watercolors!. They have these really beautiful metallic paints that don't show color unless they are painted over a dark surface!. I used a white conte' pencil and did a quick sketch of an iris!. I started painting a small area to see how it would work, and it looks great!. I'm pleased with my results so far!. The paint lays nicely over the acrylic, but lifts really easily!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Right now you have all the beautiful colors of fall!. Consider a landscape of a wooded area with all the gorgeous trees!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
