Diving Into Watercolor: DIY: Portable Paints
http://divingintowatercolor.blogspot.com/2015/09/diy-portable-paints.html
I want to bring my urban sketching tools with me whenever I go out, so that I'll have them even for impromptu painting. I made a card that will easily fit my A6 sketchbook and attached Peerless transparent watercolors using rubber adhesive, and secured sheets of paper palette with staples and washi tape. I would love to hear from you! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm Jean Kelly, a watercolor and urban sketching enthusiast, and aspiring children's book illustrator. View my complete profile.

http://divingintowatercolor.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
And So I Write My Watercolor Stories. Since I'm too talkative for Tumblr. I'll post looonger stories and random thoughts behind my art on this blog. I'll also try to create reviews of watercolor-related books and art supplies that I've personally read and used, respectively. Check out my Twitter. For updates, and Pinterest. For boards of inspiration and tutorials that help me dive into watercolor. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. And So I Write My Watercolor Stories.

Diving Into Watercolor: Cafe Sketching
http://divingintowatercolor.blogspot.com/2015/10/cafe-sketching.html
One of the things that Marc Taro Holmes. Suggested in the book The Urban Sketcher. Is to first try urban sketching somewhere comfortable and indoors, just like a cafe or a restaurant. Well, I really took his suggestion to heart. Below are my cafe sketches so far:. Rustic Mornings by Isabelo. First attempt at on-location cafe sketching. Wasn't able to include a sketch of my food because it already took me a long time to finish this one. Haha. A paint date with Jade of A Day to Dream.

The World Through Watercolor-painted Pages. Haven't been able to post anything here for the longest time. Honestly, it's mostly because I felt like it's just a shout into the void most of the time.

Paint Date: Diving Into Watercolor x A Day To Dream in Milky and Sunny. I met Jade of A Day To Dream. Last October in Heima Brixton's Paper Stories. Bazaar. Amidst Arlene Sy's watercolor demo. Jade and I somehow managed to chat and introduce ourselves to each other. Since I'm such a hermit and introvert, I'm really glad whenever I get to meet and befriend new people, especially those who are also into artsy stuff. We finally had our paint date last Sunday in Milky and Sunny. It's nice to paint side by si...

http://divingintowatercolor.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
I've always wanted to paint a portrait of Zooey Deschanel (my girl crush), but for some unknown reason, this also seemed to be a daunting task for me. The photo in this article.

An Afternoon of Awesomeness. I’m still giddy that I finally got to meet one of my watercolor heroes.
