Thursday, January 1, 2026 Practice Book

 Just playing around.

Today’s thought:

As you reflect on the past year, thank Jesus for always being in control. Whether you make resolutions or not, pray for Him reveal the beginning you need.

“Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” Matthew 6:8

Playing around with Watercolor

 

Playing around with watercolor. Notes to self: For shadows mix the color with the color opposite on the color wheel. Control depth of color with water. Layer. Start light then add color. Sometimes stick to the same family of colors like in this one, lots of blues and greens in different amounts of color. Wipe off color when you need to and leave bare white. Don’t use white and black to darken and lighten. Use water instead. Keep practicing.
