April 2013 Newsletter


Welcome to Martha Kisling's Creative Watercolor!

Our oldest daughter, Laura, came out from South Carolina for a visit and I felt so spoiled having both my girls here for a whole week. They both came to my Tuesday morning class and painted along with everyone - so much fun to share something I love with them!

My husband Todd and I spent a week in Texas with my mom last month and had a great visit. The weather was warm and sunny and the birds were singing. Of course we had to bring Ginger along because my mom LOVES her granddog!

Invited Back To Breckenridge     Watercolor Collage WorkshPainting on YupoPPWatercolor and Cheesecloth

I began this painting with wet paper and quickly painted in the colors for the background and trees. While everything was still wet I placed pieces of cheesecloth into the wet paint, adding more dark color on top to create fun and interesting texture in the trees - you just never know what you may have sitting around the house to use for creative play.
