Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.
I started a watercolour of little squares and rectangles that I had seen in a tutorial by Wendy Soganik on one of the free courses. Although I was quite pleased with the result when I took a photograph it was more obvious that my lines were decidedly wonky. I decided to digitally alter that. All the wonky ones were straightened out and looked much better. Then I had a play with the colour blends! The picture above is a selection of the results. The original watercolour is A4 so these are quarters. There is a second stage to the tutorial which I hope to get to this week.
There was a Women of The Word conference a couple of weeks ago. The free downloads are available straight away so I have those although I didn’t manage to watch all of them. I have been doing a study of women in the Bible. And did my first page yesterday. This is of Miriam, a prophet and sister to Moses.
I had planned to use my brayers, but they were nowhere in sight so I used a palette knife to spread the paint and then did some stencilling. I wasn’t too sure I liked the result, but in the end carried on. On the left handside is the page with some colour added digitally, on the right the actual page. Now I haven’t actually stuck down my image so I may add to the background. The image started off as a download from the course, but I wanted a stencil so I altered it, including a new head :)
My workspace! Tomorrow I must look for my brayers!

Wow, those watercolour rectangles are brilliant, I love the tones all laid out like that, it appeals to my mathematical and pattern orientated brain!! Hope you find your brayers!

Hope those brayers turn up Angela. Loving your watercolours and both versions of Miriam. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
This happens to me so often and the Brayers will turn up when you're looking for something else. I like the design of the squares and rectangles and can't wait to see how you use it when it's finished. Nice cards too. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww. Hugs Angela x11x
I think the patchwork colour play is fab! Hope you find the brayers before it is too late for them to be of use! Happy WOYWW - sorry I am late, work was manic and I didn't have time at lunch to visit. Helen #2
Ah thanks for the masking tape suggestion, must try that. Love the watercolour pages. Thought your Miriam looked different to mine, amazing what a change of head does. Hope you find your brayers. Hugs BJ#14
I love your little rectangles, the colours are very harmonious.
Have a good week
Hugs
