Today I finally had the chance to read this wonderful book, It's called "Water Paper Paint" by the artist Heather Smith Jones. I went to a Final Friday a couple months ago at the Lawrence Art Center and saw a show by Heather Smith Jones and fell in love. Outside of the gallery there was a place to sign up for a drawing to win her book. So my friend and I signed up and a couple weeks later I got an email asking me to come pick up the book I had won!!! So I graciously accepted and am so glad I won the book because it has inspired me to delve deeper into the world of watercolors and make my own watercolors. Experiment with the different types of paper and ways to use watercolors. As I read the book one of my instructors kept coming to mind and to my surprise towards the end of the book Margie Kuhn was a featured artist and that was a nice little surprise. It was also great to find out that this amazing artist Heather Smith Jones once attended school at KU and now lives in Lawrence. I feel so blessed to be in such a creative environment!
