Little blobs of joy

This was such a fun project! 

I decided to use images I already had instead of drawing my own (hope you don't mind Elise!), as I'd bought a watercolor advent calendar that came with cute little cards for each day with an image already painted on them. I picked four of my favourite colours that I've opened so far and used their cards to make these

I found this a really nice way to swatch my paints and learned about these lovely new paints I have - the pink has a really subtle shimmer through it that I hadn't noticed it initially when I first swatched it:
