I have been having fun lately experimenting with art. I’m teaching myself watercolor (via YouTube videos!) and also am sketching with pencils. I’m hoping to get to a point where my work is good enough to create printables and include them on my site. I thought I would share a few of my latest with you. These are first tries and I know that I need to improve but hey, we all have to start somewhere!
Here is my colored pencil sketch of flowers.
Here are my first two watercolors. Lucky makes a good subject 🙂
I’ve also been hard at work on the child’s vintage roll top desk. It’s coming along in Annie Sloan Coco. I’m not quitting my day job lol!
As soon as I figure out how to create an actual printable (and create a few more sketches) I will give it a whirl and add a few to my site. I’ll share the desk tomorrow!

Excellent start! I remember in college the art professor had us draw a folding chair the very first day of class and at the send of the semester had us draw the same folding chair for a final exam. The improvement was incredible. You will amaze yourself!
It takes a natural talent to breath life into a piece of art and I think you have that talent looking at your colored pencil sketch..i know watercolor can be a challenge, but I think you are in the right track…great job!!!
Wow, For a first time I think you did a really nice job! Beautiful 🙂
suzanne – I’ve always maintained that people who are artistic in one area are, more likely than not, artistic in several areas. You have just proven that to me again. Kudos on your drawings / watercolors talented lady!
Looking forward to more of your surprises girlfriend!
