January Watercolor - EDM Sketch Something Frosty

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

January Watercolors -- We Call It

The Everyday Matters topic for this week (EDM #206) is "We Call It." You are supposed to sketch something that is called one thing in the US and something else in another place. So, I picked two things:

1. Bandaids in the US -- In the UK, they are called plasters.
2. Diapers in the US -- In the UK, they are called nappies.

Would love your comments/suggestions. I had trouble with the people on the diaper package. Anyone have a good source for learning quick watercolor people?

I definitely need more practice with watercolors! Had some trouble with bleeding paint. I also need to work on mixing colors to get better matches. I am most pleased with the shadow and the spilled lemonade. I might try this one again.

Sketching and Painting in 2009

One of my goals for 2009 is to learn to sketch and paint. I plan to paint 40 paintings and participate in the yahoo group called Everyday Matters. Look for posts every couple of days or so.
