Watercolor/Letter Love exercise


My dendrobium orchids have been amazing this year.
I want to paint them but just can't seem to do them justice.
Most of my attempts end up in the trash and this one almost did,
but I have been enjoying Joanne Sharpe's Letter Love class,
so decided to make this a Letter Love exercise.

Happy Paint Party Friday!!

I've taken Joanne's class to and recognize some of the lettering styles - her class was really fun and I use it all the time. And I think your dendrobiums are great - I recognized it right away! thanks for the visit.
