The end of Wash a week challenge blog.

During a whole year, lots of experiments, sharing, surprises with watercolour !
We all learnt a lot from each other.
All those experiments gave us energy and new ideas.

I would like to thank all the artists who generously took part in this blog.

This blog was written  from the 1st of January to the 31th of December 2015 !

You won't find new posts anymore here, but the blog will still live.

Thank you again and happy creative year to you all !

For information : you have the opportunity to leave comments until the 31st of January 2016.
After this date, the blog will be still online, but closed to comments.

Happy Christmas to everyone.
To My fellow washers - well done on making it to the end and adding your own ideas and experiments to our 2015 project. I have enjoyed it thoroughly... but please wait a year or two before you decide to do this again. :)

To our readers who followed our sometimes erratic journeys with paint, thanks for sticking with us - I hope you have been inspired to put brush to paper.

To our contributors: thanks for rising to the monthly challenge when we didn't have the time to.It was great to see how you interpreted the challenges.

Finally, having posted the alphabet since August, I thought it would be cool to show you the big picture:

 

Wishing you all a colourful 2016.
