I've been working a lot in other mediums, so anyways here I post a work in progress I'm doing for my blog header , with the theme of the wonderful holidays coming up :)!!! I know i'm early but later on I will not have much time, so now is the time to attackkkkkk .... so here it is , oh and it's done in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;watercolour pencil&lt;/span&gt; by the way!&lt;br /&gt;Their was a first attempt which i did mixed media, acrylic and watercolour pencil, i liked it but it was missing some volume I found. As a result I reworked it and this is what I came up with! Below you see the thumbnail version in the very begginning and then the first final attempt and then u see the really last attempt (but not finished yet).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for viewing&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7734181836899874147-1654439602727030513?l=watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/feeds/1654439602727030513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7734181836899874147&amp;postID=1654439602727030513' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/1654439602727030513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/1654439602727030513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/11/work-in-progress.html' title='Work in progress!'/><author><name>Tamara campeau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02674498900618137836</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NfHy_k14JEg/TUgNj7I_cPI/AAAAAAAAAAM/KOa2kQGBk-4/s220/photo1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--9hPiZimS5g/Trr0wx6ozvI/AAAAAAAAACQ/zXM7OCo2hJA/s72-c/thumnailchristmasillo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734181836899874147.post-2298845180348971264</id><published>2011-11-08T18:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T13:23:33.181-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Watercolor Wednesday monthly banner...</title><content type='html'>In the past, Watercolor Wednesdays had a new banner for each month--members would sign up for the month they wanted to illustrate. I'd love to see that happen again. Don't get me wrong, I love our banner &amp;amp; we'll keep Monica Carnesi's beautiful illustration as our logo (thanks Monica!), but I'd love to see more member interaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're interested in doing a particular monthly banner, please add a comment to this post and let me know what month you're interested in illustrating. It's first come, first serve. Oh...but, there's a little catch. The banner artist sets the challenges for the month (you'll send those to me via email, along with the image for the month a couple of days prior to the end of the month, then I'll post it all). It's not too late for someone to sign up for November!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to hear from you &amp;amp; thanks for being a part of Watercolor Wednesdays!&lt;br /&gt;Linda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;We've got a sign up--thanks!: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;March - Penny Noble&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7734181836899874147-2298845180348971264?l=watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/feeds/2298845180348971264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7734181836899874147&amp;postID=2298845180348971264' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/2298845180348971264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/2298845180348971264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/11/watercolor-wednesday-monthly-banner.html' title='Watercolor Wednesday monthly banner...'/><author><name>Linda Kay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01686589154509231610</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vh4lYkUEXnk/TE8HUlGcfcI/AAAAAAAACrw/f_ii1lIswxA/S220/wchorsefacebk.jpg'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734181836899874147.post-8883115796907210047</id><published>2011-11-07T01:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-07T01:02:16.831-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='children&apos;s book illustration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='children&apos;s book art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='children&apos;s watercolor illustration'/><title type='text'>F is for my new frog fella</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ffEdy0DG2AI/TredinXOOjI/AAAAAAAABHs/ygDtRhTSzGg/s1600/Fredt-Fright-Children%2527s-Book-Illustration-%252810%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ffEdy0DG2AI/TredinXOOjI/AAAAAAAABHs/ygDtRhTSzGg/s400/Fredt-Fright-Children%2527s-Book-Illustration-%252810%2529.jpg" width="393" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Finally more Watercolours and gauche work to share.

I'm catching up with July's Watercolor Wednesday's challenges having just joined. I am posting the July 6 theme of American Colors. What's another favorite activity in the summer but fairs, circuses and festivals. These 3 acrobats represent our USA in many ways as they perform over the timid elephant who's not quite sure that she won't get red, white and blue on her! Thank you for the opportunity to join such a great group of artists! I'll post the rest of the month as they're finished.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7734181836899874147-6807343716682068877?l=watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/feeds/6807343716682068877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7734181836899874147&amp;postID=6807343716682068877' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/6807343716682068877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/6807343716682068877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/07/american-colors-angelia-mclean.html' title='American Colors-Angelia McLean'/><author><name>Angelia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01038507187761050743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kGBXNj7pEsc/Tp3z8N2q8sI/AAAAAAAAC64/A-QttJPpn9c/s220/self_portrait.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Svfm-FX5aLg/TinjecLGx8I/AAAAAAAABZs/6muTFN-wwQM/s72-c/July_06_usacolors.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734181836899874147.post-956850105963240446</id><published>2011-07-22T05:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-22T05:50:07.877-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A huge congrats to Vanessa!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5nYeggEjag&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5nYeggEjag&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so getting this book.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7734181836899874147-956850105963240446?l=watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/feeds/956850105963240446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7734181836899874147&amp;postID=956850105963240446' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/956850105963240446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/956850105963240446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/07/huge-congrats-to-vanessa.html' title='A huge congrats to Vanessa!'/><author><name>Wendy Martin - Art</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02715548561775125551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-279_Jy0YDtw/TjV7e6BEweI/AAAAAAAAAsA/ykkgIs5SIwc/s1600/twitteravatarwma_bigger.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734181836899874147.post-3011826866990577644</id><published>2011-07-21T16:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-21T16:07:40.070-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Keepin' it Cool by Penny Noble</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N6YSJq9BIr0/Tiiw8dQ3-2I/AAAAAAAAAc4/Zh6MSMiWuIk/s1600/07-21-2011%2B04%253B00%253B59PMbear%2Bin%2Bpool.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I always try to make an excuse to pair kids up with animals in my pieces. I think they make people go "awwww!", and I like getting that sort of reaction. Hence, baby's guardian angel is a puppy modeled after my dog Gracie!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b08olqzD8zA/TiU6fK2MiVI/AAAAAAAAEIQ/P-qtThzxwMI/s1600/gesture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b08olqzD8zA/TiU6fK2MiVI/AAAAAAAAEIQ/P-qtThzxwMI/s400/gesture.jpg" width="328" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Here is a closer up detail. Doggie has on her tag little wings designating her very important job, and also I made sure to position the swirl of the baby's hair to act as a halo for the doggie. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwJKSeAnCyc/TiU5PmMasrI/AAAAAAAAEIM/e18erTksWrM/s1600/detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="245" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KwJKSeAnCyc/TiU5PmMasrI/AAAAAAAAEIM/e18erTksWrM/s320/detail.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hope you like it!&lt;br /&gt;Tiffanny&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7734181836899874147-8990007530983172938?l=watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/feeds/8990007530983172938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7734181836899874147&amp;postID=8990007530983172938' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/8990007530983172938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/8990007530983172938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/07/tiffanny-varga-babys-first-guardian.html' title='Tiffanny Varga - Baby&apos;s First...

I have this quickie I made for the kids this week in watercolour for a sleepover they are having at the end of the week. It is nice to do little originals for their happenings. I did paint it in my sketchbook so the paper quality is pretty adverage compared to using watercolour paper but it did the job. I added the text and a little of the paint in Painter but not much.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7734181836899874147-3163038049418923902?l=watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/feeds/3163038049418923902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7734181836899874147&amp;postID=3163038049418923902' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/3163038049418923902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7734181836899874147/posts/default/3163038049418923902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/07/watercolour-inviation.html' title='Watercolour Inviation'/><author><name>Kayleen West - Children Writer/Illustrator</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nVgPyTc4aZM/TumHe1KELII/AAAAAAAABKo/QCSckRNM0mE/s220/Fredt-Fright-Children%2527s-Book-Illustration-120.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWAtuXDV884/TiQBE_Kj4LI/AAAAAAAAA5I/43x-QnZuupI/s72-c/sleepover-movie-invitation-flat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734181836899874147.post-17185814444576380</id><published>2011-07-16T13:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-16T13:43:55.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome New Members!</title><content type='html'>Please welcome our six new members to Watercolor Wednesdays: Angelia Mclean, Kathryn Howard, Vesper Stamper, Cindy Rodella, Lynda Farrington, &amp;amp; Tiffanny Varga.
