Description:

Paint whatever you like. One watercolor ATC for one swap partner.
Make sure its watercolors on watercolor paper for best results. In my experience the 2 major mistakes done in watercolors is not using good paper and working to small. Working to small means tiny detail that gets muddy. With ATCs do a study of a detail of something or just one object. Have fun and don't feel self conscious. Another reason to use a 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper with some rag in it is it can be washed. If you over work a painting rinse it off and repaint. I do it all the time.

The usual Swap-bot rules apply, No flaking. If you have a problem let me and your partner know.

This swap is for anyone who feels intimidated by the larger formated swaps and or more experienced artist. So you know I suck at portraits. I can do bits and pieces as you see above but to actually paint a portrait I suck. The piece above was painted and washed and repainted. I tend to over work my paintings, use to much paint. I try for to much detail when less is usually best.

All my art stuff is packed and there's no indication when we are going to get our new house. So, I'm going to have to pass this time. :(

I haven't signed up for a swap in quite a while. Sounds like a nice project for a beginner like me.
