A Peerless Watercolor Stroll in Paris

February 18, 2015 by Sandy Allnock 39 Comments [featured_image}

Bonjour tout le monde! Je suis Sandy, et j’ai un tableau por vous aujourd’hui! (No the rest of this post is not in French, sorry!)

Peerless watercolor, heading for a peerless city: Paris! I’m practicing a little of my college French…ooh la la!  I hope I remember more of it by the time I arrive in Paris this afternoon. But maybe it’ll be like riding a Parisian bike!

In the video I’ll show you my first Peerless watercolor painting of an actual person image…I’ve done techniques, flowers, and a little object here and there, but this is more ambitious than I perhaps should have tried? But it was a fun try at least!

Video

I’ll let you know how my little book for my Peerless Watercolor set works out; the Bonus Pak (Small) is the one I purchased but I linked you to some other options too. You can google for storage solutions for the other size of Peerless too, but know that these “2×2” pieces are actually a little larger. They appear to be handcut, since each is different – which, to me, is a nice thing, I like feeling as though someone cut a chunk of painted paper especially for me, and that it wasn’t some “perfect” machine. In the video I show you what I did with my extra pieces that had to be cut off.

Ps–that cold moved into my chest but not til after seeing great sights in Scotland! Once I get to Paris later today, I’ll lay low for the evening and get rolling on Thursday. Pray! 🙂

    Beautiful, loose watercoloring with such an eye for color and balance. I love watching you create. I don’t do much watercoloring and I haven’t tried Peerless yet, your video has inspired me.

    I’m enjoying seeing your travels on instagram and here. As a Brit who lived in America for 3 years, I’d love to hear your impressions of the countries you visit – what you liked, what you didn’t, and what struck you as strange or the most different from America. I always think its fascinating to see your own country through someone else’s eyes – they immediately notice things you don’t – like the black/grey coat situation. My immediate thought when I read that was “Do coats come in any other colours?!” Enjoy the rest of your trip!

    Sorry that you aren’t feeling well. This painting is amazing! I love my peerless but use it mostly for backgrounds. I need to work up the courage to branch out and use it on actual scenes. Enjoy your time in Paris. The city if magical and the food is wonderful.

    You blew my illusion of you sitting on a park bench on a beautiful, warm, sunny spring day looking at the Eiffel tower in the distance as you paint this, (oh yea, with cherry blossoms falling all around you,lol.) What a very special card this will be for a very special someone in your life.
