Hello! It's my turn to choose a watercolor challenge for Watercolor Wednesday. I found a gorgeous tutorial only to realize that I am a bit challenged in the main parts of this tutorial! First off I avoid aligning blocks because it takes me forever and then it turns out that it still isn't straight. I found graph paper helped me with alignment. I used the graph to help me mask the paper in three blocks and added markings as an easy chart. It was so easy to mask off two more practice sheets! I have tucked my graph, guide away for the next time I play with blocks!
Next, doodles? I have doodled all my life but they are not doodles anyone wishes to see. I practiced many times because I think the roses in the tutorial are adorable! I never could get it to flow for me so I went with silhouettes.
This was painted on my less expensive paper and you can see how the salt didn't activate as much as my other piece.

Your colors are wonderful and I love the salt effect. The die you chose for the panels is perfect! I would have never thought to put blue and yellow, together but it looks so pretty! fav'd
