Prepping Alphabet Pieces

Yesterday, I worked on prepping the next four alphabet pieces. After cutting the paper down to the right size, I painted each piece a different shade of blue.

I mixed different shades of blue to contrast with the paper I planned to use for the fruit alphabet pieces. I'm enjoying the new colors of gouache paint I bought recently. I think the colors are very intense and bright.

Stay tuned for new pieces tomorrow!

Orchids

I was inspired to create this cutout after enjoying the delicate beauty of an orchid plant that we bought from Ikea. I chose a plant with bright, pink flowers and was astounded by the intricate nature of each petal. I used gouache-painted paper to create this piece.
