That Moment When...

That moment when your son looks at something you painted and says, "Mom, that's so cool! I want one."

The Golden Snitch
Watercolor painted on a page from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Today my son popped by for a visit. When he saw this little watercolor, he lit up and told me he loved it and he wanted one. 
Feeling like a Rock Star, not gonna lie.



Hours and hours of happy memories spent with him sharing that magical world as he was growing up. I can't wait to paint some dementors, a hippogriff and a patronus or two.

I had so much fun bringing one of my favorite little bits of the Harry Potter world and games of quidditch to life. 
I started with a little color study I did once upon a time in golds. 
Whenever I take the time to work out a color test, I always log the colors so that if I like the effect created I can go back and create them again if I ever want to.  Really glad I did that a few months ago in this case.  It was just what I needed as a reference.  This is the drawing on the page before I started adding any color.

Starting to add layers of yellows and amber to build up the golden tones.

And done! A little bit of magic flitting around the art studio.
