So... it turns out... I'm not so good at watercolors... yet:) I sure am good at too-muchery , which just happens to be the enemy of watercolors. I'm going to take a 'less is more' approach on my next try. Also, after working with a brush for a couple of hours - I've gained back the appreciation for command Z. Not so easy to 'redo' without it.

Wow! good job with the water colors.
I think you're very good at watercolors. The paintings are lovely. I'm with you on the "undo" command. I wish my mouth had it sometimes!
I love them, especially the kitty. But I do think the clean vector lines of color work really well with your style, especially on patterns…
I think it looks GREAT!
I love your watercolours! Why would you say "too-muchery" is an enemy? I think it´s so nice to see how an established artist, with an established style, works with another medium - and your transition to watercolour was great, I think.
But I´m with you a 100% on the command-z thing. I guess we only understand it when we don´t have it! :)
(then again, mistakes when painting are so good, aren´t they?)
Please show us more soon!
I find that my brain automatically thinks "command Z" when I do anything wrong- like spill a drink or burn some food! Ha Ha! I think I've been using computers for way too long!
Your water colours are lovely :)
I know what you mean - I wish there was an "undo" function for painting & crafting sometimes! Your experiment looks great to me!
Really nice watercolors! A person told me a long time ago that if your lucky you will be good at several things or great at one thing. Your vector work is fantastic and you have made such a great style with it!
soo sweet. i think whatever medium YOU attempt, the outcome will be fab!
I love love love these, especially the three adorable girls. More watercolours please!
Wow - they look pretty amazing to me! Love the cat.
Helen, I absolutely love the top picture!
awww.. you're too hard on yourself, I think they're great! And yes.. I have opted for the ctrl z option lately too, much less cleaning up as well!
If those are the ones that aren't so good and you need to "get rid" of them I'll take them from you :) I think they are awesome!
Haha I'm right there with Charisa, because they look fantastic and so cute.
I love command Z! But you don't need it these look great!
I like those, they're good!
I wish I was as "not so good" at watercolours as you! These are just gorgeous. Whata great blog you have here. full of colour and life. Really like it.

Oh, I love your blog!
Nice, a touch of the 1950...
I´m a illustrator too!
I think these pieces are wonderful!
I think these are lovely, it's amazing how it changes the look and feel of your work.
I love the look of your style, done in watercolor. I think you did a great job for just experimenting. Your art is so happy and fun.
I think your watercolours are great. I work a lot with them and I prefer watercolour out of the tube, like Windsor Newton and brands like that. Payne's grey and yellow green are my favorite!
your water colour is great! But I know what you mean about Command Z - I often think how great it would be if it actually worked in real life too! Jx
I like them. I know...when I draw with acrylics sometimes I think "I need command Z!" Command Z is real magic!
Golly. I think they are wonderful!
Love, love, LOVE! I love the quality of your painting and the lightheartedness of your illustrations!
