Something green for my first Artists Playroom

This weeks theme is
Green.

Here is my entry.

I know, how boring

a green leaf

but for me it was a challenge.

I have never attempted to do

a water droplet before

and it shows.

The first one I did
looked like a flat pancake

So I swooshed the paint around and
came up with the one at the top.
In my defence,
I am a horrible photographer
and it looks much better
in real life,
but you will have to take my word for that.

At first I was going to do this in
watercolour pencil
and cut up a bit of water colour paper,
then I decided that it would take too much effort
to colour all of that.
So I picked up my trusty acrylics
and started to paint.
I learnt a valuable lesson
don't use acrylics on water colour paper.
As soon as the paint hit the paper it was sucked in
and that makes it really hard to blend.
Not to be outdone
I had five brushes on the go at once
each filled with different coloured paint
and ready to hit the paper and blend
in record time.
It worked quite well
but now I have
green hair, arms and teeth.
Well I had to put the brushes somewhere!

Anyway, that is my entry,
it's not the greatest
but at least it's green.
