Home Sweet Home

Only three colors were used to paint this nest:  Antwerp Blue, New Gamboge and Opera.   I usually choose just a few colors to paint a nest but always, always I am amazed at the outcome!  Every combination of mostly transparent watercolors creates a different background.  The paper is lightly sprayed with water before paint is applied and then sprayed more fully afterwards.  Colors perk and blend together until they dry.  Surprise!  Nests are enjoyable to do and for me just discovering the colors that show up adds to the fun.
