i recently came across this fabulous little birdie how-to over at non dairy diary, and i was so inspired that i declared that very moment "play time"! start by painting some watercolor splotches on your paper...... and then outline them with a permanent marker. add eyes, a beak, and all those other birdie things...... and you have a nice little flock of chickadees! but why stop there? somewhere in those watercolor blobs there might also be some piggies..... and mousies..... and bunnies......oh, my! cyberspace is jam-packed with spectacular ideas...... let inspiration and a little play help you to put your own spin on them!! (and i figure if you're having lots of fun, you're on the right track!) click here for non dairy diary's tutorial! {i used these supplies to create this little barnyard: koi watercolors, micron pens, 2B pencil, waterbrush, sumi brush, strathmore 400 series w/c paper}
