I’m in love with orange and pink together for my fall pumpkin and I’m pretty proud of how I painted the whipped topping. Painting whites with watercolors takes a bit of learning and patience. Next time I’ll add a little darker grey for more definition because it looks a little flat to me….but I still…
A local friend is doing a charity project for the homeless downtown SLC so I asked if I could donate Christ stickers to add into the bags. I created over a 100 and I’m so excited for them to add hope and love to those who get them. I love seeing my artwork in a…
I was talking with my Nail Tech about using my art to make nail stickers a few months ago. To be honest I was a little scared and intimidated when I looked at printing sites and how much it would cost for something I just wanted to try. I decided to go ahead and try…
Happy Fall!! I sat down to paint a Fall leaf and didn’t even know where to start so I went to Google Images to find a photo of a Fall leaf. Have you ever looked at watercolors on Google Images, there’s some amazingly talented people out there and the temptation to compare is so real…
Welcome to the last part of my Watercolor Trees series. I originally planned on painting mostly Birch trees but I learned that I love painting Pine trees. The painting above is from from part 4. Â

Remember last year when I taught myself how to paint Watercolor Poppies in just 4 weeks, for FREE? If not, you can see each week here:Â 1, 2, 3, 4. Well, I’m back to teach myself how to paint Watercolor Trees. I’ll post what I learn every Weds for 4 weeks, starting today. I’m in love…
There’s just something about a sketch or doodle that makes me happy. A pencil is a wonderful thing! In 2014 I hope to sketch and doodle more. In the past a sketchbook and pencil was me at all times but in the last few months I’ve played my mini iPad instead…. addicted, no! I must…
Wishing you and your family a Wonderful Christmas!! from: the Maynes
