(because we paint&nbsp;them!)]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>Hi friends! There is nothing like being on a diet that makes you aware of how beautiful food looks! I am not a big sweet eater but I do love the look of glossy raspberry syrup dripping down the side of a delectable cake or pastry. Why not try to capture this beauty with watercolor?</p>

<p>Warning, the video is a bit long but sometimes painting takes time. I hope you enjoy it:)</p>

<p>I apologize for posting so many painting projects in a row. I had intended to post a project using all the UFO (unfinished objects) paper pieces that are currently on a pile on my table and making a batch of any occasion cards. I thought it would be fun since I increased my stash of water media rubber stamped panels when I filmed a class for Angela Fehr&#8217;s <a href="http://learn.angelafehr.com/p/creativewatercolour/?product_id=174730&amp;coupon_code=FIRSTDIBS&amp;affcode=1255_dlr1zq1c">Creative Watercolor Course</a>. I became daunted at the pile which was getting pretty thick and then I got distracted by something shiny&#8230;</p>

<p>&#8230;which ended up being a really cool start to a project but it has to wait 72 hours to fully cure hence adding to my UFO problem LOL!</p>
