New palette creatures are now swimming in an alternate setting. For those not familiar, palette creatures are colorful shapes that actually show up on my watercolor palette after a watercolor painting session. When I spot them, I take a photo and play with them in Photoshop. Some creatures require more attention than others. This …

A Daunting Palette Creature
Another one! A formidable being, this creature made her presence known and demanded her fifteen minutes of fame! She’s long gone now, but I won’t forget her anytime soon.
Little Weirdies

Watercolor Wednesday
Watercolor with acrylic accents. The acrylic is a crafty mix squeezed from a plastic bottle.
