Thought I'd readd it to my gallery.

My first watercolor. The scanner, first of all, left a small gap between paper and the scanner's bed.. and gave it a slightly blurry look. The scanner's colors don't do it justice. Much brighter up close and in person.

I've been drawing Toucans for class lately, and then I saw Billy and Mandy.. and showed Billy gettin' a peppermint. And I was like. GASP! I can use that. So I was like..what can you do with a peppermint? Put it in tea!

And so this picture was born.

that is awesome, such an interesting concept, it's funny where you can get your inspiration from.

I want to have tea with it now^^

I've tried putting peppermints in tea... didn't do a whole lot for it, but I didn't put many in. Disappointing experiment for me; next time, I'll have to keep adding them to see how many it takes to have affect on a mug of tea.

Adorable pic, btw. Like the soft blend of colors.

You can look for the good things in life or the sucky; be certain that whatever you're looking for will show itself.

I am me! Be I misguided or stubborn, I will always rise to the occasion. Be it for a friend or foe who calls upon me. But remember, I am always around and always watching those I love or care for.

Make someome's day, even if it's your own.

That would be very funny to see really happen.

Welcome to the club! Now selling jackets. :3

I like were you got the concept from. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is quite a sinister program though and I am quite surprised that Cartoon Network air on prime time. The toucan kind of reminds me of the crow in that show. I must say that your watercolour abilities are outstanding. Your watercolour is a very beautiful artwork even when your scanner dulled down the colours.

Toucans are totally tea drinkers! Nicely done.

Thank you kindly :)
Really got into watercolors hardcore after the class I was taking. What happened was I was an education major. We were required to have an 'Art in the Classroom' type class -- The teacher said we need to be familiar with different mediums n' introduced the paints.
They're tubed watercolors. Prior, while I've used tubes before in highschool, for cost-saving, the teacher would plop out a glob and we'd have to use it after it's hardened.

It's -so- much (better) different to paint with watercolors that are fresh instead of ...caked/hard.

But thank you very kindly for the compliment! I truly appreciate it :hug:
