Today I've been playing with my name as part of the Letter Love 101 online class. I don't think I achieved the abstracted image I was going for, but it was good practise. I did discover that I don't like the Crayola Tempra discs I was using. I just couldn't get the wonderful bright, clear watercolour look that Joanne demonstrates in her pieces. I think I may need to invest in some better, brighter watercolours. However, I used the Tsukineko inks to colour over the dull watercolour I had and it helped to brighten it up. I also added some platinum Tsukineko ink which is more opaque but has a great shine.

Looks fabulous!
