Today finds me at Crown Center capturing the holiday magic with ink and watercolor! The Urban Sketchers have a challenge out for postcard paintings, so I picked up some blanks at Blick, and headed to the playland by the ice skating rink. With the very first mark I remembered how much I dislike standard watercolor paper! What was I thinking? I keep picking up these special items - totally forgetting that I only use handmade paper, and then I have to try and make it work. What a lovely place on a lovely day, if only I had handmade paper postcards! I am now thinking of creating my own, but I still have three pads full to use! Yikes! Postcards from the edge, maybe? Painting number 2891 in 2891 days.
