Galentine's Day may not be an official day but got to spread your love to your favourite ladies. What I gave to my special No'1 gal, my best friend Cheryl, a cute handmade greeting card of the female blackbird and female chaffinch (that represent us by sizes, I'm tiny and my bestie is quite tall, hehe).  Card size in 10.16cm by 15.24, painted in watercolour, handwritten "Happy Galentine's Day" with V crossed by G, in red. I posted to her house on the day, she got the card after work, she loved it and her comment on this 'it's so sweet'. LOVE YOUR GALS. 💖

Here it is, just what I've said in other blog Watercolour Kingfisher , that I have another watercolour paint of kingfisher. Well, I did two! Here they are! Some beautiful shades of blue on its wings. Such a vibrant breast. I enjoyed water-painting on Kingfisher, I have actually focused on how colourful they are, which is one of Britain's most colourful birds. They're just fascinating looking, aren't they? ☺

It's Saturday and it's sunshine here. Two weekends ago I received some new best quality watercolour kits! Pack of 4 watercolour pads, watercolour paint and a pack of fine detail/mixed media paint brushes. I bought them from Amazon, I thanks to my Auntie J, Uncle P and cousins for the Amazon gift card from Christmas. I had my first try of Kingfisher and the outcome is amazing, I didn't expected myself water painted that brilliant, compared to what I painted before with normal sketch paper and, cheap and old watercolour paint. Take a look at my first attempt of watercolour Kingfisher. Plus you can see the feather details clearly, so I'm amazed by it. I have also water painted another Kingfisher, that I will show it for the next blog! Good day. :)
