Watercolor Weekend



Watercolor is amazing! I've been using some paints that my grandmother gave me. Above: A Dalek with a Gallifreyan headdress (which has to do with a Doctor Who fanfiction I'm writing) and a peacock! The wrinkly paper that results is one of my favorite parts. X)
Music I'm listening to: Jailbreak by Awolnation, This is the Future by Owl City, Barking at the Moon by Jenny Lewis


What have you been doing over the weekend? Have you ever done watercolor?

    OooooOOOOOooooo.

    Pretty.

    Wait, aren't the Dalek things robots? Why does it get to wear a headdress? I'm confused. XD

      Thank yoooou! :3 Watercolor has such a nice look.

      Haha, yeah, the physics of a Dalek wearing a headdress is a little awkward... it's more symbolic because of the story I'm writing. It's about Time Lord (Gallifreyan) trapped inside a Dalek's armor casing. Since only Time Lords wear Gallifreyan headdresses, it's meant to be a startling image. :) (Hopefully that made sense, lol...)

    What a great foray into watercolors! Looks like fun. (I think you might need a bigger workspace though!) Keep blogging, your posts are interesting and a lot of fun to look at!

      Thanks! Oh, a bigger workspace is every artist's dream, isn't it? ;)

    AHHH DALEK...It's soooo good.
    Becca, this is why you need to watch Doctor Who...ok...this.
    *whispers*
    I keep telling her she needs to watch it, but she hasn't listened.

      Aahh, thank you!
      Yay, you liked the Dalek!! :D *whispers secret behind-the-scenes info* It was really hard getting its armor that brown color because I only have orangey and reddish tones in the watercolors– no real 'brown'. In the beginning the Dalek looked like it was a can of Sunkist. XDD
      Yes, you should get Becca to watch DW. It's a fantastic show! ;)
