WELCOME TO WATERCOLOR WHIMSEY
Original Designs and more
Featuring Watercolor, pen and marker artwork. The pens and markers that I use are fade and water resistant.
Welcome
Welcome to my website. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and look around. I offer original designs and prints of my original designs. Please make sure to read whether the artwork is an original or a print before purchasing. As you shop, you will see that one of my favorite sizes is 4" x 6". Pay special attention to the description because that size can vary. In addition to watercolors, I offer cute refrigerator magnets. I hope you will keep coming back to see new items and new sizes.
Framing Instructions
Because watercolor paintings have the potential to yellow or fade over time, please consider these steps for displaying:
​
If you plan to frame an original watercolor, it will require "acid free" tape, back board, and mats. It is best not to allow the picture to touch the glass. If you prefer no framing, then a nice way to protect an original watercolor picture is to use a spray varnish. An example of a quality varnish is Golden Archival Varnish (matte or gloss spray). Spraying with varnish allows you to place it in a frame with or without glass.
To further protect your purchased watercolor art from fading, please do not place the artwork in direct sunlight. The framing or varnish will help, but the best protection is no direct sunlight on the artwork. However, it does take a while for any art to yellow or fade.
Please feel free to enjoy these pieces just as they are...it can take several months to even years for fading to happen. I have hangings with no frame or varnish that have been in my mom's office for two years. They haven't faded at all.

Watercolor Paper
All paper chosen for my artwork is acid-free as noted in the description. The vintage or deckle-edged paper is also acid-free, but there will be natural flaws and slight variations within this paper due to the fact that this type of paper is handmade (purchased from an outside business). It does not affect the beauty of the painting, but truly adds to it.
