I made it through the alphabet for my art journal! WHOOT!
And I completed 31 days of watercolor in July for World Watercolor Month!!
I thought you might enjoy seeing my finished alphabet pages…
An X-ray Tetra Fish for “X”:
“Y” is for Yellow:
“Z” for Zentangled zoodles… Which are zucchini noodles!
I still want to add paper collage and a few extra details to complete these pages… so stay tuned! 🙂
And I completed 5 additional watercolor pages to finish my 31 days – I will post them later this week…
I am happy to be done so I can focus on some other art projects. Yet, I had so much fun!
I enjoyed my extra time at the lake last week... I think my highlights were swimming in the lake – three times a day, reading a super good book, painting outside daily, making paper butterflies with a friend, daily naps and cool evenings.
Wishing you a happy day doing what you love!
Cheers! 🙂

Congratulations, Jill, on a highly successful World Watercolor Month. I am amazed when someone is able to complete challenges like this. I absolutely love the colors, texture, and wonderful details of your x-ray tetra fish. It is the kind of painting that I, as a complete beginner in watercolor, aspire to be able to paint some day.

Thank you Mike! 😃 Glad you like my fish! And I know you will be able to paint one! 🎨👍 It takes lots of practice or at least it has for me. I think learning how to draw better helped me tremendously, especially being able to add shading. I don’t find watercolor to be an easy art medium for me so having a challenge like this one has helped me to become more comfortable with it.

Wow, you made it to “Z”! I’m not progressing very fast on my “ABC animals” but now I’m motivated to catch up! I think your watercolors are awesome, plus I really like the x-ray tetra fish! I used to have some back in my “aquarium days” lol

Thank you! 😃 I really enjoyed the alphabet challenge. Some days were easier than others but it helped to know what letter to focus on each day. After I made it through the alphabet, it was a little more challenging for me to keep going…
I will check out your animals! 🎨👍

Thanks Kathy! 😃 I read the book, “Before We Were Yours,” by Lisa Wingate. I couldn’t put it down… and stayed up reading every night. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it. 💛
