Wednesday Roundup!

Let me start be saying, I LOVE quilt painting. So when I saw that Leah's homework this week was painting, I was all in! I haven't done a lot of quilt painting, but what I have done is so fun.

I have a bit of an amateur background in watercolor painting. This is a bit different, but still lots of fun. I just own a starter pack of this paint, so I just have a smattering of colors. What I found difficult was mixing paints (while on the palette)  to get different colors. I found I could paint over colors to get different colors, notice the centers of the flowers and then interior of the petals, I layered colors. So my question for Leah, do you buy each color you want or is there a way to mix them?

Today is also Quilty Embellishment Day for August. So for anyone who wants to link up some embellished quilty projects from this past month and have a chance to win 1/2 yard of my hand-dyed fabric. Click here for my QED post.
