Yes, big failure at the top left. I accidentally put the side of my hand there. Then the color lifted and I tried to fix it. Big mistake.

I found a dead mole on a walk last weekend. I never saw I mole before. I was surprised how small it was.

Well.. it didn't work out again. I think I need a bigger and rounder brush.

Another lesson... make sure your masking tape is really stuck on or else you get these awful bleeding effects pictured below :(

August 18 Painting

I learned my lesson... usually painting over a layer in watercolor gives you unwanted results. Also, there is a very small time window where you can lift paint nicely.

Hmm.. well, lots of mistakes in this one. This is the second tutorial from watercolour.tv. The blue paint dried out since the 3 years I used it so in squeezing it I ended up with an exploded tube of chunky paint :(

I'll draw you an animal of your choice if you know which song mentions all four birds I just drew within 5 days of this post.  No cheating!!! (i.e. Googling)

August 1 Painting

Don't laugh at me, but painting frightens me. I think that's why I learned Photoshop, so I didn't have to paint. So finally I need to learn, so I made a dreadfully simple painting following a lesson from http://www.watercolour.tv/. I've decided to get a membership so I hope I can learn fast. Here's my painting which can be done by any 3-year-old
