Cranial Hiccups

Every once in a while and totally unintentionally my brain spews out a good idea.

Inspired by Beatrix Potter

March 24, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 10 Comments

The girls watched Miss Potter one Saturday afternoon. It is the story of Beatrix Potter, the author of the beloved and best-selling children’s book, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.” Although not quite true to her life it was a fun movie to watch and did inspire some quick paintings from our resident artist, Brownie.

She cut a watercolor paper into six smaller pieces, looked up a few animals, sketched lightly with a pencil, then painted with watercolor. The results are quite delightful!

    don’t know where that comment went. Go Brownie! She is good! Shading is difficult with watercolors, and she did it very well.
