Cactus Garden

[njnjgirl]

I was out of watercolor paper.  I wanted to do some art and had a piece of mat board.  I zentangled some cactus and then added a bit of color with watercolor....My husband thinks it looks good without coloring everything...would love to know what you think? This was fun!

I think this is a really nice zentangle, Mary- Lou! I like the partial colourings.

I like it Mary Lou, if anything you could give a touch of red/yellow mid left? Not sure I saw it here but place clear plastic over and paint over to see how it looks.
Also I have used mat board painted over with white water colour ground for watercolour painting. Maybe use Gesso?

Thanks Jay.  Thank you Bill.   I looked at this again, and I know what you are saying.  Putting color in the left hand side will kind of balance it out but I do not want to color the large barrel cactus, and not sure how it would look partially colored.  So I am leaving it as is. I am happy, yesterday my watercolor paper arrived.  So I don't have to worry about finding something to paint on.

Love it. You could do more of these and sell them in an adult colouring book

[njnjgirl]

Thank you Nolan, as I was coloring this, it did remind of those adult coloring books.
