I've long wanted to be a watercolorist,
but alas I'm not talented at drawing or painting.
I've tried, taken classes, but no success.
That is until tonight!
I'm now painting with ease, my friends.
Like many of you,
I've jumped on the Waterlogue train.
For the modest cost of $2.99
I can transform my photos from this . . .
Into lovely watercolor images.
It's my latest iPhone app.
These are my first attempts.
Quickly transformed
this evening just in time for the following party.
Want to join in the fun?
Download the app, start "painting"

This IS such fun indeed! I love your picture with the lamp and plants (the lamp looks like it's sketched into the picture) - beautiful. Thanks for your kind comment. Now that I kind of know how to "link" I must try to link something to dear Vee's notecard party too - see if I can figure this out.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolors are beautiful and would look so nice framed or printed as notecards. It's a bit addicting isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGracie and I have been using this feature a great deal! It is highly addictive!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blue and white vignette with the pink flowers!

I have been having such fun too! Your images are so pretty. I wonder how your M-C prices would look with waterlogue.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteYour new pictures look great Sarah! I wonder how Earl would look in watercolor:@)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sarah, When I first read that you wanted to be a Watercolourist, and saw the first photograph, I thought my word, you certainly are a Watercolourist because the Watercolour was so beautiful. Then I read on and I was amazed.... to think that an app can be used and a Watercolour print achieved is amazing. Do you know, I think I can see a few Watercolour prints in my home, because I love Watercolours as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the introduction to this app.
Best Wishes
Daphne
I need to get the app. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI love water color and this new app looks like it is a real winner. Your images are a delight.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, Sarah, and they would make beautiful note cards. I know a recipient of one of the cards would love it.
ReplyDeleteSarah, these looks marvelous! I love the one with the flower and dog! I've got to get my husband's Ipad and download this app! They really look like a most wonderful artist painted them!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
This app does create some gorgeous painted look photos. Very nice selection of note cards.
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought..I knew she would be that good an artist!!
How cool are these?:)
PS your front window vignette..is so gorgeous..
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sarah. Isn't 'to this app fun? Your paintings turned out great. My favorites are the ones with the blue chins in them, of course. Thanks for joining the party. Hugs, Rhondi
ReplyDeleteLike you, I can't draw or paint worth a lick, so it is terrific when they come out with new programs to change our photos into painting-like images. These turned out beautifully! I downloaded the app about a week ago and I'm still playing around with it. Another one you might like is called Glaze, and I think it is free. It does a lovely job too.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like Monets! I think making them up into real note cards would make a beautiful set for a gift or your own personal note cards.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have been doing all weekend! I haven't posted, yet, but I am in love! I still have my Valentine's post up. I don't think you've seen it yet, but it will probably be up till I can borrow Mr. Magoie's computer to upload these. Glad to know there is a meme for this. Fun!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are truly gorgeous, Sarah. And isn't it odd how you have to try all the applications because you never know which one will look best? I am stunned sometimes when that last crazy app turns out best or rainy or one of the others. It is so much fun! I am truly hooked. But I think your "water colors" have mine beat! Just stunning!

This watercolor app really is fun. Beautiful results!
ReplyDeleteSarah, you clever girl! I just got my first iphone, and I am really excited about this app you are sharing. Your pictures look so beautiful. You did a fine job painting them : )
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
Thank you for telling us about it.
Hi, I new to Card Party, and I can tell you since I do watercolors....these are just magnificent.
ReplyDeleteThis is the very type of watercolor that is my passion.
I am just amazed at modern technology that can do anything a human can do.. well almost! HaHa
Truly enjoyed looking at the details of your cards. I posted three of my watercolor cards this week.
I was on the fence about this app, but your cards have convinced me. Hope you're doing well!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love this app??!! Having fun with it here too. And I printed one that someone framed - looks like someone painted it!
ReplyDeletexo
This is the most amazing app! I would SO love to get it! Your photos are beautiful and now they are transformed into works of art! WOW!
ReplyDeleteSarah - that app is truly amazing! What a wonderful way to have almost free artwork for your walls. I love it! Thank you for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for posting about this new apps. Beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteI'm a food blogger, but had to stop by and thank you for great info. Your first painting is wonderful. Well, the rest are lovely too, but my favorite is the first.
ReplyDeleteM~
Love this! Did you see Rochelle's (Imparting Grace) house that she converted? Loved it! I will have to try this
ReplyDeleteThis new app does a lovely job. You've got some beautiful notecard images there. You could sell this set for sure!
ReplyDeleteOops, also meant to say, I saw some potted blue/purple hyacinths at the grocery store today and thought of you!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful, Sarah. What fun! laurie
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, the app does wonders! I saw someone else today had used it, too. I must check into it as it looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteMy son that is here with me is an artist and I actually tried a watercolor today, but it's with the grandkids' paints and plain paper, not the good, watercolor kind.
Sarah, these are so pretty! I love watercolors and if I can change some of my photos into this...well I will!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteElegant watercolor photos, dear friend!!!
I agree, these would make gorgeous note cards!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Oh wow Sarah, I love it! Really, really fun. You chose great photos and they would make wonderful cards! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
That looks beautiful - I love it!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteLove your watercolor prints/photos! On one of my older computers (Macs), there was a built-in watercolor option, but on my last couple of computers, it wasn't included, and I have been missing it. I will jumping on the Waterlogue train, too.
Judith
How much fun! Watercolor is SO HARD! I leave watercolors for the real artists because they are unforgiving.
ReplyDeleteBut wow do I ever love this app! How cool is this?
They would be a pretty addition to your decor!
xo,
RJ
These are beautiful! I just downloaded the app last night, and am going to have loads of fun with it, I can tell. Making cards with them sounds like a great idea. I am following you now. (I would love to have you follow me too. I'm a new blogger, and you would be #100!)
ReplyDeleteI've got to get this app Sarah! I love your blue and white and what gorgeous watercolor images you've created. Beautiful........Perfect for cards.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
ReplyDeleteGot the iPhone but I guess I lack the time for starting this... For printing some special note cards it's a great idea however! Love yours here.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful is the word! Love this watercolor print.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
So fun! I think I need to get this toy.
ReplyDelete- Alma, The Tablescaper
Just beautiful. What a fun new toy. Joni
ReplyDeleteSarah, I'm now sold on that app! I've seen everyone's posts and photo transformations but yours look truly like beautiful little watercolor paintings! I fear I will be addicted and get nothing done as soon as I start snapping :)
ReplyDeleteOMGod this is stunning Sarah, you sure look like a pro and it's even more special that the work comes out of your gorgeous photography, doublé talent there!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you go about it, it's amazing and really, gorgeous! I'd put any of yours on my walls, lol! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeletethat looks so beautiful. Nice photos and wonderful transformed. What a fun to make that. Thank you for sharing this.
Best greetings, Johanna
Those are beautiful! I bet this app could make anything look spectacular.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love them.
ReplyDelete~Clara
Good for you, but that is way above my head and thinking.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to jump on the waterlogue band wagon too after seeing the beautiful "paintings" you created! They are certainly note card worthy!
ReplyDeleteYour photos look so pretty in Waterlogue!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to try it myself.
That is so cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd your Valentine's Day post is beautifully done.
These are so cool! I really like the effect.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and really lovely.
ReplyDeleteLuV it ! <3
ReplyDeleteTY for sharing the FuN
{& Creativity!}

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness~~~so very pretty!!

Happy Pink Saturday!

I wanted SO badly to join and get Waterlogue, but it will not work with my android! AHHHH! I cannot find anything as good for my Samsung devices, so I guess I better practice my watercoloring this summer! Lovely transformation, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHI SARAH! How lovely to see your comment this morning....your words are so kind and mean so much to me as a wannabe writer. I took one poetry class last summer that changed the course of my writing goals and what little ground-breaking lessons I got from that one class have helped enormously with shaving down my thoughts. Thank you so much for commenting on that.
May YOU be an angel (I know you are) to someone totally unknown to you. That's when it's the most stunning of experiences.
Much love, Anita
I recently got that app too Sarah and it is awesome. I am an artist, but have always struggled with the delicacies of watercolor~this app makes it pretty easy! I just used it to design wedding gift bags for a friend, I just might have to blog about it and join the party! Thanks for the info and sharing your lovely paintings!
ReplyDeleteJenna
These are so pretty and I have been seeing a lot of gals use this app and turn out some amazing looking art. I love Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThese are beyond fabulous! Love, love, LOVE them ALL!

What fun! These are lovely, I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I've never heard of this app.
