I painted this original watercolor on cold press paper with high quality watercolors. I added some depth with embossing It's about 6" x 8" but it's presented in a 8" x 10" frame matted to 5" x 7".
I called this painting "The Orange Tree" because although it's abstract, you might see branches and fruit like I did.
I love the color orange, because it is a happy color.

"Alphalittlebit" by Es Curtis - Created Dec. 31, 2017
I called this "Alphalittlebit" because it just gives us just a little glimpse of some of the numbers and symbols that appear on the typical keyboard.
I used a rubber stamp and embossing materials to give the cold press watercolor the appearance of an old document. Then I used a tan watercolor to make the paper look aged. Then I painted the letters, symbols, and numbers freehand using black and red watercolors.
This was a new technique for me - I'd never tried mixing embossing and watercolor on the same page before. It turned out pretty cool.
