Let's a talk a minute about swatches.

I love em. Love making them, love looking at them. I love color.

I'm taking an on line watercolor class by Cathy Johnson. The first assignment was to make swatches of our pencils. I had 4 different brands, okay, okay, I only had 3 different brands, but everybody else had a 4th brand, so I needed them too. If you're with me so far I'm sure you understand.

By making the swatches you can see what the colors looks like and how each handles. That way instead of having to buy 4 different brands of watercolor pencils, I can just settle for one. You're buying that right?

So now I that I'm done making swatches I need to make an actually drawing.


PS: Yes, that is my black and purple Christmas trees in the background. Aren't your's still up?
