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.
Bluebell wood Watercolor
Bonus Naart for Day 12 Catbird
Bonus Naart for Day 10. Tara went over the Rainbow Bridge
Bonus Naart for Day 11 Inlaid frog

The frog is lovely; he looks very textured and 3D, and I like the touches of green.

Of course I like the frog gem! Imagine you pool walls with inlays of frogsn fish, lizards and water lillies and dragonflies! Even the Old ROman Emperor would envy you!:-)
