I decided to use the Saunders sample papers I was given as mini paintings mounted onto greeting cards, they are only 5×5″ and vary from 90lb to 300 lb, coldpress, hotpress and rough. I am so impressed that I will buy this paper again, all Barr the 90 lb….it’s still ok, but I like more weight to my paper. These little paintings were from Sktchy app again, I just can’t get enough of the app, it’s great to use after work when I just don’t want to think too much, but still want to paint, full of inspiration π. I am loving that I have stumbled upon some fellow bloggers on the app, and welcome some new ones. Here are two I did the other evening.

‘Official’ watercolour, ink and gel pen, 5×5″ 200lb coldpress Saunders. Mounted onto 8×8″ greeting card. Sktchy app inspiration

Thank you Susan, I decided being small, they were perfect for cards, I can’t stand just storing with no intent…although they all have an intended use, they are still stored on mass, lol
