Naart Day 12

[feng_shui_house]

Here's today's contribution to naarmamo . Along with Bonus Naart.

Watercolor is not my forte. First I'm impatient, so I tend to paint wet on wet & lose detail. Second, I'm persistent, so I tend to keep using the large brush when I should shift to a smaller one.

I tried to combat the first weakness by doing another picture at the same time. I took an old photo I'd shot and photoshopped it into another inlaid silly. This worked fairly well, as I'd stop fiddling on the computer when I noticed the watercolor was dry. But I finished the 'shop first, and found myself overworking the watercolor, so I stopped even though some parts really could use a bit more.

So long as I was putting on one bonus Naart, I thought I'd add 2 more that I did on other days.

All my Naart is here, from 2006 to present, divided into galleries by year.

Oh, my, I love Tara so much--furry rainbow. Your watercolor is lovely--I like the way it all blends so softly. And I'm still amazed at the inlay pieces.

Thank you. :^) I have to remember to hunt up more freebie styles- I'm hooked on the inlay, it's such fun!
