Watercolor Painting

We occasionally like to put our artists faces on for no particular reason. Ryan and I woke up super early this Sunday, both excited for our daily project of painting. Working in financial district, we were both feeling our creativity has lost its grip and the mundane routine was driving us crazy. Last inspiration was from Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Mesmerized in the unique pastel color tones and the brush strokes what almost seems too casual and not planned, we thought - why not? Here are the outcomes:

We used 2 x 2 canvases bought from Michaels. We had some brushes from our last art project (i.e. our DIY wedding props) and Ryan's Mom - who used to be a high school art teacher - donated us with the set of watercolors. More photos after the jump!


We are going to hang these in our apartment when we move in. It's fun to be more productive and creative. We are obviously no professionals and our paintings are mere replication of the "techniques" we've seen in museums and other famous paintings. I was rather content with my own painting still - as the man in my painting looks remarkably similar to my actual husband - which I lucked out having no talent & lacking every possible details.
