What a great way to start my week by trying something new for Mixed Media Monday!  It felt good to use some new colors (brown!) and just freely paint with my watercolors. I am always encouraging you to paint “out of the box” and out of your comfort zone and that is what I did.  Here is what I painted LIVE:
