30 Posies: Nasturtiums


As kids, we called them Nasty-ursums and thought that hilarious.
Kids are pretty goofy.
Detail below.  Sometimes I like the sketch better without watercolor,
and this is one of those times.

  Full watercolor below.

This 8×8 Hand Book Journal is filled with flowers,
and I may do a flip-through when it is full.

I tried the Hand Book journal as an add-on with Staples when I needed a minimum.  They were quite a bit less at the time.  Unfortunately, they are now too expensive for what they are, so this is probably my last one unless I find a great sale.

Why?  The paper is decent, but not really good watercolor paper.  It is meant for watercolors, but I am not fond of the texture, and can’t put my finger on it.  I am not going to do a full review so this is about as much as I can give about this journal.
