such sweet sweet peas

Remember our special (eek - expensive!) watercolour paper?  On which we painted those bee-autiful watercolour butterflies that we were so very proud of?

Well, it just so happens that we have some left.  We also have some bee-autiful red and pink and purple sweet peas.

Aren’t they lovely?

What more relaxing way to spend half an hour on a hot sticky day than with a sheet of special (eek - expensive!) watercolour paper, a jam jar of water, some watercolour paints and a paintbrush.

Remember how it works?   How we paint the paper first with water…..

and then, using wet watercolour paint, we allow the paints to mix themselves (on the paper - rather than in the palette).

See how a drop of white…..

transforms the centre bloom.

See how a dab of red…..

or purple…..

or maybe a touch of white…..

swirls into the most bee-autiful patterns…..

as they mix with the colours already there.
