I have been thinking about how I want to participate in Charlie’s World Watercolor Month this July at Doodlewash.com
I wanted to make it fun… and discovered an idea from Danielle Donaldson’s recent book:
She suggested experimenting with watercolor by making color recipe cards. I liked this idea and decided to make it my own.
I decided to make a 6 x 9 inch “recipe card” using a variety of watercolor papers, experiment in watercolor and collage on each card and use the alphabet to help guide me to create my recipe of fun!
I got started right away with “A” recipe…
I decided I wasn’t going to overthink my process…
So “B” fore I did, I moved on to my next letter:
I added alphabet “tabs” to the top of my first cards so I could create more than one recipe in that letter.
Part of the fun is adding notes to the back of the card, such as what inspired me:
I hope you create your own watercolor recipe of fun and participate in World Watercolor Month with me!
Cheers! 🙂
