Print art from home

I used my Canon MP280 to print these images on white card stock paper.

This is the original etsy post: here

The images printed on my home computer from the pdf file with no adjustments.

More SLC Temple Paintings

Simple, yet lovely I think.  I like paintings to look like paintings too.  I did these 4 versions of the temple.

Landscape #4

I need to read a book on landscapes, but they keep getting a little better.

My first acrylic rose

I did my best.  It's my first acrylic rose and I look forward to doing more roses.

Little Baptism and Baby Blessing Invitation Themes

I just did a little series of watercolors for baptism dresses and baby blessing dresses.  I think they turned out so cute.  Then a little dove.

Painting some clouds

This was a super fun color exercise.  I guess these are landscapes #3 and #4.  One was for my friend Heather.

SLC temple.

I'm going to try and do some other temples for friends.  My next temple is the Orlando temple.  I want to do it today!

Children's Woodland Animal Art

 There's an element of imperfection with these pictures that is sort of intentional.  If you want a perfect picture, use a computer image and print it.  Watercolor has character and personality.  I just love the way these little pictures turned out!

My presketch

Inspiration board

This page of instruction was super helpful.  My friend gave me a couple of pictures to use as a reference for style and color.  I used the bottom two pictures for color references, and then the top pictures for style references.

Watercolor Flowers

 I love this picture of flowers that my friend Heather Spiel picked out for flowers.  So pretty.  Where did she find it?  I will have to do another version of flowers with this same style.  I think that it helps to get people what they want SO much when they give me a sample picture, and then I can talk to them about a few things and ask questions.

This is the picture I used to base the flowers on.  It's not a copyright infringement because this piece of art was a gift and I didn't receive any compensation.

I do think that watercolors look sharper as a camera image.

Bountiful Temple

 One of the biggest reasons I started doing art was because I started the cash system.  Then I realized, "I can use my talents for a lucrative benefit!"  So I started with painting some nursery art for my friend's babies.  What a baby gift!  Then I have slowly started progressing to doing birthday gifts, and this is now a wedding gift!  I love doing little temples, and who wouldn't want a painting of the temple they were married in?  I think it's darling and simple.  My step-mom Gwen says they are her favorite.

 Wayne drew this picture of me.  It's me with a paint brush.  I think it's so darn cute!  I love my belly-button.

New Orleans

Today I finally knocked this out.  It took me 5-8 hours total to do this project start to finish.  It was a wonderful pain in the neck, but I finished it today!  That was my goal.  It is for my friend Stephanie, who loves New Orleans.  I don't love New Orleans, but it has a special place in my heart because it's connected to her.  (This paper obviously curled as I painted it.)  I was particularly proud of my washes and layers on the left building.  At the end, it has a semi-professional feel for some sections.

This last picture looks so yellow. I think the one above is more true to color.
