Watercolors

I am so in love with watercolor right now. It could have been sparked by my trip to The Getty, although I think it's gone farther back than that (this has been my computer for the last two years). Either way, I love everything about it: the colors, the technique. So perfect for summer. Here are a few things that will turn you into a moving masterpiece:

The Getty

   Yesterday my mom, my brother and I went the The Getty museum in LA. I've never been to an art museum (or any well-known museum, really) but I've always wanted to go. This was my first step in becoming a student of the world (my full admissions being in August after I graduate college). I think it was a good first experience (other than almost freaking out in the underground parking structure because I am not a coal miner and it's not natural for a living, breathing person to be underneath the earth's surface. And because it had a tram.) 

I will be the first person to admit that I know nothing about art, at least not technically. I've never studied art but can appreciate the beauty of it and the sheer talent it requires. But even as an art novice I couldn't help but be amazed as I stood in front of the paintings of Van Gogh and Renoir and Rembrandt and saw up close the intricacies of the strokes and colors and textures. So much so that one of the guards told me to back up, haha.

Here is the rest of my experience at The Getty.

Illustrated Posters

How cute are these illustrated posters by Paper Sparrow? 

She even has them in greeting cards. I want them all. 

Moss graffiti

Have you guys ever seen moss graffiti? You can literally paint moss onto walls and buildings. How amazing is that! I seriously want to try it on a fence in my backyard. You can learn how to make it here.
