In today's blog I'm going to share with you how I painted this little scene of a little waterfall pond with pink Lilly Pads. I'll share my tips for painting light and shadows on the rocks as well as my struggles with portraying the bright yellow/green plants floating under the water. I'll share some of my favorite paints and brushes that I used for this painting. If you'd like to see the full list of products that I use and recommend check out my Kit page.

I create using a mixed media method of watercolor paints and black ink. I've had a lot of questions about what materials and tools I use so I thought I would write my first blog and give you all the info about what I use and why. These materials are pretty budget friendly!
