Watercolour Wednesday's: Shiny Floors

<div style="text-align: center;">Last term my entire rendering class was done using watercolour, so I have a lot to show you! This week, I'm sharing a practice exercise we did based on page 21 of "<a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Interior-Design-Illustrated-Watercolor-Techniques/dp/1563675315" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Interior Design Illustrated: Marker and Watercolor Techniques</span></a>" by Christina M. Scalise. This is one of my favourite books that I've had to buy for school.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHhhHkUAobzqfcdLBrBQrqpWDfavPmyD60IgHsT9oYc9NUZQI-Nx1WDio45kOU2tmtIOR0PEDDcyuUU0ROs7hETv7OauMnptpD-igW_CzoaPPo8p4fhiu4Y_UyOHZt2usEA12KlPnAqA/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHhhHkUAobzqfcdLBrBQrqpWDfavPmyD60IgHsT9oYc9NUZQI-Nx1WDio45kOU2tmtIOR0PEDDcyuUU0ROs7hETv7OauMnptpD-igW_CzoaPPo8p4fhiu4Y_UyOHZt2usEA12KlPnAqA/s640/018.JPG" width="456" /></a></div>I love the way this painting turned out and I really feel that the floors look successfully shiny (maybe even a little slippery!).

Father's Day and Guest Post!

<div style="text-align: center;">Happy Monday my loves! It's been a busy weekend for me with my birthday and Father's Day all rolled into one. I came home from the hospital today exactly 23 years ago. In 1990, the 17th was a Sunday and it was Father's Day, and really, I probably peaked at good Father's Day gift right then and there. Here's a picture from that day. Let's be real - how styling was I with that hair bow? Right on point. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuvMkR70STtTw5OoNmB53NYMthsr4WKnliWx0SL9rmfCEi4gtYPpi3h7_FhyjbIw4ZqeH-yCY3T0wuzTF3GUDqzXdTcGBPz7djISKLFmzXueSafO0-VMmT_VO_kQxJAbpNoJxx0-pWVg/s1600/me+and+dad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuvMkR70STtTw5OoNmB53NYMthsr4WKnliWx0SL9rmfCEi4gtYPpi3h7_FhyjbIw4ZqeH-yCY3T0wuzTF3GUDqzXdTcGBPz7djISKLFmzXueSafO0-VMmT_VO_kQxJAbpNoJxx0-pWVg/s400/me+and+dad.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Today I'm also guest posting over at <a href="http://lauradrodesigns.blogspot.ca/2013/06/how-she-styles.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Laura Dro Designs</span></a>.

Watercolor Wednesdays: Inspired by The Perfectly Imperfect Home

<div style="text-align: center;">I'm bringing back Watercolor Wednesdays for two reasons:<br />1. To bring you guys original content<br />2. To keep my sanity<br /><br />There's something so therapeutic about painting and lately I haven't been making the time in my busy schedule to sit down and relax. Now is the time. Ahh, the art of imitation. You know that movie, Julie and Julia? Where Julie tries to cook her way through Julia Child's cookbook and then blogs about it? Yeah well this week I'm pulling a Julie and Julia as I attempted to practice my work by reproducing some paintings by Virginia Johnson in one of my favourite coffee table books, '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Perfectly-Imperfect-Home-Decorate-Live/dp/0307720136" target="_blank">The Perfectly Imperfect Home</a>':<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIL2euaABHKShDNvhYFyUQhbu856AlBnknhmDtYekYRBm9Fy7PaJKPFUfG0d5V292IUvP9ZDYxVwMZtVI_WgjLlpYV-5dWkxjb4NVTLV6ZYwzkDObUBDhSJq3UhYbWikXDSr_bkCZ-iyg/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIL2euaABHKShDNvhYFyUQhbu856AlBnknhmDtYekYRBm9Fy7PaJKPFUfG0d5V292IUvP9ZDYxVwMZtVI_WgjLlpYV-5dWkxjb4NVTLV6ZYwzkDObUBDhSJq3UhYbWikXDSr_bkCZ-iyg/s640/015.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> ^ Left: Virginia Johnson / Right: Tiffany Leigh<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LW2_aIg3U659tLaYmm6NFbmp_ecVx124OYKQZYPRzJacCs3FJ62hhLjXW6P_GUqbcdWBHizjT_TDvmCpb6MCKPXKwXfmtAHn4S-pJXJcv5BfRPG6SRPKraAZPn7opbCBNROANes1Jio/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LW2_aIg3U659tLaYmm6NFbmp_ecVx124OYKQZYPRzJacCs3FJ62hhLjXW6P_GUqbcdWBHizjT_TDvmCpb6MCKPXKwXfmtAHn4S-pJXJcv5BfRPG6SRPKraAZPn7opbCBNROANes1Jio/s640/021.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>^ Top: Virginia Johnson / Bottom: Tiffany Leigh<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0p1U5b4KpAlLhFV6GG74qYNmtCUgYB_ZvztxugFyuFxGtlr1Cs7n2_ZmugGQ6VoOZnc2mY4GnE4e7-L_M7uiIeIVgdjSyYs376xdUqPYxFo3d_mKNy4Vr0eSQaumk8HbzZkO5Ru8w2uc/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0p1U5b4KpAlLhFV6GG74qYNmtCUgYB_ZvztxugFyuFxGtlr1Cs7n2_ZmugGQ6VoOZnc2mY4GnE4e7-L_M7uiIeIVgdjSyYs376xdUqPYxFo3d_mKNy4Vr0eSQaumk8HbzZkO5Ru8w2uc/s640/022.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>^ Top: Virgina Johnson / Bottom: Tiffany Leigh<br /><br />The reality is I'm nowhere as dedicated as little miss Julie, and won't be painting my way through the <i>whole</i> book, but this was a fun experiment to get back in the swing of things. <br />From now on, each Wednesday, I am going to paint my interpretation of a photo of a room!<br />Can't wait to share with y'all. Also, these are the first photos from my new camera.
