These are my last three paintings for my Holidays Art Collection and Wintmas Challenges! Today I am posting Days #12, 13 and 14
I am so happy about this collection of mini Christmas themed watercolor paintings and how they turned out I had great 15 days of creativity. I am thankful for the response I got from the people that follow my journey and love my art. I had beautiful comments and encouragement. Thank you all for following this month challenges. After Christmas I will start some new and very interesting projects I will talk about it later on.
The 15 Days Of Wintmas: “For the followers that comes across this post just now, I mentioned in my previous posts, that I have participated at two challenges, following the prompts and combining them together. These challenges were hosted on Instagram one is “Wintmas” 15 days of painting lovely Christmas prompts, #karlaswintmaschallenge hosted by artist Karla Pereira from Spain. The second challenge is hosted by a Collective of Artists “Bad Apple Collective” the challenge is “Bad Apples 12 Days” #badapples12days and of course I also did join my friend Charlie O’Shields of doodlewash for the #worldwatercolorgroup”

Dandelions Magic Wishes
Limited Palette, only two colors Blue Ultramarine and Grey Payne.
I loved to paint this Dandelions with such a limited palette of two colors, it is very challenging but I really love the result and the lightness that I was able to give to my painting. I usually paint with a very limited palette of no more than five/six colors I like to mix them and create my own.
The goal of working with a limited palette is to improve skills, gain more control and faster paintings I suggest everyone to give it a try. Also I did the drawing straight with the ink pen no pencil.
Details about my watercolors:
watercolors are outlined with black ink pens. I used French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle 12 demi-godets half-pans travel metal box Ink pens used a black ink Pilot Prera fountain pen fine nib . I painted on a 8 x 11 inches mixed media sketchbook.
❤
All my watercolors paintings are available for Pre-Order in Limited Edition Art Prints
