there's no place like your own backyard....



For this prompt I went straight to the backyard...
while the kids swam i played!!!

inspiration...




again i chose to create the page on a separate piece 
of paper then add it into the journal...
i don't like the way the paper handles the watercolor...

the supplies....


testing my supplies!!!



i ended up using a mix of both...

i painted first...no pre-drawing...
just paint....


my arrangement is a little different from the pictures...
but as the artist you get to arrange!!
But I definitely wanted to put the fence behind it..
just liked the way it looked...


next stabillo pencil and water...
one of my favorite pencils!!


then a little black pen...


some writing & border design...
then added it into the journal for the next step...


shading & journaling to the edges...


and finally done....


for something that looks so simple it has a lot of steps!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great weekend!
