To my dearest friends and followers,
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyjUWvgzp8Yyhn9owmRG_tfT_VwQs6PGouDKIi6FSCyQicmQCQdeSBxNIInJXhFftlq1OVex3ARMc4x1q3E74oX9csXMbxO7rwdR_naq5sBUTl5HAA-n9NCyl_X8jO7lMPNPvsrQPHJn51/s320/IMG_3136.jpg)
Once I've worked on a few other projects related to finished my book for publication, I'll be reading through the manuscript again to really polish it up.
However, this week has been all about watercolor.

That has changed though! I have been wanting to try my hand at it due to being inspired by artists Toni Burt and Jane Davenport and being encouraged by my husband.

I've been really enjoying painting. I find it so relaxing. It's also very inviting (at least to me). When I use color pencils, I'm like, leave me alone, I'm drawing. But when I use watercolor, I'm like, come paint with me!
I eventually want to buy large sheets of watercolor paper to try painting on a larger surface. I've also been getting a feel for the types of brushes I like and don't like and thinking about some that I'd like to get, since I've just been using a cheap "starter set" of brushes I got at an art store.
Next week I want to focus on drawing faces.
It is my intention to design my book cover with a watercolor background with the face of my protagonist, Hollyhocks, on top of that. We'll see how it goes...
Yours truly,
Me
