Fifty Shades of Red

Art Journal Journey challenge: Fifty Shades of Red started on the first of February and will run the whole month.  Linda, of heARTfully Inspired blog is our hostess this month, and the fifty shades of red was her choice.......and I think it was a really good one for this month.  Think love, Valentines, flowers........oh, and don't forget chocolates!!!

I chose to go with flowers, for my first entry, not that I'm NOT romantic.......but I've been keeping an eye on some of my flower bulbs that have broken through and are growing quickly.  Sadly they are not tulips......I might have to buy some this year.

Okay, so I just gathered up a handful of red implements, Gelato, watercolor pencils, markers and watercolor paint and started, using a baby wipe to blend with.  The flowers were done in watercolor pencil and then blended with a damp paint brush, adding a bit of red watercolor to the bulbs, then splattering red, dark red and white.

Well, that's it for this Friday.........Thanks for stopping by.
Don't forget to visit Art Journal Journey and see some awesome art and ADD yours to the list.
