The end of Wash a week challenge blog.

During a whole year, lots of experiments, sharing, surprises with watercolour !
We all learnt a lot from each other.
All those experiments gave us energy and new ideas.

I would like to thank all the artists who generously took part in this blog.

This blog was written  from the 1st of January to the 31th of December 2015 !

You won't find new posts anymore here, but the blog will still live.

Thank you again and happy creative year to you all !

For information : you have the opportunity to leave comments until the 31st of January 2016.
After this date, the blog will be still online, but closed to comments.

Olivia.

Lori Bentley Week#52

Happy Christmas to everyone.
To My fellow washers - well done on making it to the end and adding your own ideas and experiments to our 2015 project. I have enjoyed it thoroughly... but please wait a year or two before you decide to do this again. :)

To our readers who followed our sometimes erratic journeys with paint, thanks for sticking with us - I hope you have been inspired to put brush to paper.

To our contributors: thanks for rising to the monthly challenge when we didn't have the time to.It was great to see how you interpreted the challenges.

Finally, having posted the alphabet since August, I thought it would be cool to show you the big picture:


Wishing you all a colourful 2016.
