Bottle with Lines

This is Jensen Blue glaze layered three times over white. It always turns out great and the grooves carved in the side pooled the glaze just like I wanted them to: The pot itself? A little crooked...

Magnolia

This is from a photo that I took last year of a beautiful magnolia. Not sure why I waited so long to paint it... This one is rather small-- 3"x6"--because I used a scrap piece of paper I had laying around

Copper Pot

I love the glaze on the top half of this one because it looks like a copper pot: The bottom and inside are a lovely Jensen Blue.

Tulip

I wanted to take a break from the gold paint for a while. Feeling inspired by all the beautiful tulips that are EVERYWHERE this time of year, I painted this tulip from my very own backyard: Now, this photo is from my Instagram (@emileewilliamsart) account, so there is a filter on it, but I like it just the same.

Finished Pottery

I FINALLY got my finished pots from our last pottery class. I really mixed it up with the glazes, and let me tell you, it paid off! I'm so excited. This bottle turned out nothing like I expected. It is Jensen Blue glaze over Jensen Red glaze.  I thought the end result would be a really deep, dark blue with a lot of light dots, but I got this instead: I am obsessed.

Gold Paint Series: Crooked Circles and Lines

Gold Paint Series: Silver Chevrons

Because I love gold watercolor paint so much, I wanted to try silver watercolor paint, too. It did not have the same effect-- it doesn't have the same metallic effect. It's flat and looks like a white/gray color... not sure if I'll be using that one again...

Gold Paint Series: Between the Lines

Gold Paint Series: Layered Lines

Gold Paint Series: Splatters and Lines

Gold Paint Series: Gold Scallops

Gold Paint Series: Chaos Between the Lines

I think this is my favorite painting in the Gold Paint Series so far: The colors turned out AWESOME and I love the simplicity of the gold lines-- minimal and interesting at the same time.
