9th June 2024 Beena   Hello everyone. I painted the scene of the moon and its light, creating a glow in a garden of leaves. I used a combination of wet-on-wet and dry brush techniques to capture the ethereal quality of the moonlight. The watercolour medium allowed me to blend the colours seamlessly, creating a…

9th June 2024 Joy & Beena Hello, today I am posting a lovely watercolour painting by Joy. This painting reminded her of our excitement at the new blooms after torrential rain 😍😄😄.   That reminded me of rain. When we long for rain after a protracted period of hot weather, we feel like dancing in…

6th June 2024 Joy  Hi again. This is my fourth and last feature on animals in watercolour. It is a leopard, though I had wanted a tiger. I learned that each piece of art stimulates imagination and creativity for the beholder, you, and the artist. Today, here is Kola, the Rainbow Leopard.  The leopard, also…

4th June 2024 Joy   I am posting a series on pets😊. This one is a watercolour painting of a Dalmatian. Disney’s “101 Dalmatians” warmed children’s hearts, and soon, families welcomed the cute, cuddly pup into their homes.   Here are some key facts about Dalmatians, or Dals. They are beautiful, exuberant, vibrant, and energetic,…

4th  June 2024 Joy Hi, I painted this parrot in watercolour and named him Charles😄. Parrot math: Charles asked if I have three walnuts and you take two, how many fingers will you have left? Do you know the answer to the math question that my friend here is asking? In my previous post of…

2nd June 2024  Joy   I painted this owl in watercolour and hope you enjoy reading my story🤗. My painting of the owl led me to discover how a personality trait reveals character patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Therefore, I entitled this painting of the Wise Owl “The Owl, the Teacher’s Pet.”  So, why…

1st June 2024 Beena Hello everyone, I posted the “Sunflower” by Gustav Klimt that I did with colour pencils. I had tons of comments from ‘Why were you so stingy with the size of the sunflower😓 to It is so mesmerising 🫠‘. As this was a classwork project, I didn’t have the liberty to draw…

30th May 2024 Joy   I painted the lighthouse in watercolour. I have been fascinated by lighthouses since I was a child. I wrote a story about the lighthouse and hope you enjoy reading it😊😊.   Imagine setting sail across still waters, gliding towards the open sea💃🏽.  As the wind picked up, urging the boat…

26th May 2024 Beena Hi there, everyone😄. I posted a painting of the entrance to Padungan, which is in the city centre and lined with quaint old shophouses. I painted this in watercolour. I faced many challenges. I painted from a photo. I tried to include details on the roof, but the painting differs from…
