World Watercolor Month Wrap-Up

World Watercolor Month July 2021 © 2021 Sheila Delgado.

My July watercolor diary. I placed my favorites in the middle. I am honestly pleased with just about every piece. There are two I’d call do overs. The florals at the bottom. I was trying to paint like someone else. A new method. Lesson learned. Haha.

I painted 8 others. Two of which are complete duds. I thought they could be fixed. But no, they fought me to the end. The rest are abstract landscapes and they might make an appearance in the future. I attempted another coneflower for a grand finale. Haha. Instead, some quiet, spindly little wildflowers. But I am exceedingly happy with the vase. Haha. Silver lining.

Thanks everyone, for following along. It is always a JOY to hear from you. Thank you!

    Another great collection for you Sheila – well done. Isn’t it great that everyone is different? My favourites are so different from yours – lol. I prefer things with more blue and green and less yellow of course.

      Oh, I love all the blue and green too Val! The cacti, the skies. Mingus blue. YUP! 🙂 Haha.
      Your favoring those hues makes perfect sense. YOu are surrounded by them in your neck of the woods. 🙂
      Thank you Val 🙂

      Yes we do Laurelle. We need it to counterbalance the horror, tragedy, and disaster all around us.
      Happy creating my friend! Thank you 🙂

    Sheila, what a magnificent month you’ve had! The sheen on that Day 31 vase: yes! My eyes just love traveling into these new showings—even in the simplest with the least detail my eyes are compelled and delighted to explore!
