Kansas City artist uses watercolor books to showcase landmarks and inspire creativity<\/p>\n

\"Alan<\/a>KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014<\/p>\n

Tiffany Ascensio, a lifelong Kansas City artist, has created watercolor books to inspire creativity and help people explore their connection to the city. <\/p>\n

“I added about two drops of water to each color of the paint dots,” Ascensio said. <\/p>\n

Known for her skill with watercolors, Ascensio wanted to combine her passion for art with her love for Kansas City. <\/p>\n

“I wanted to do something that no one else has done before, and one thing that kept coming up was Kansas City,” Ascensio said. <\/p>\n

The project aims to teach people how to paint with watercolors while discovering more about their hometown. <\/p>\n

“Honestly, the hardest part was narrowing it down to 12,” Ascensio said. <\/p>\n

The books feature a Kansas City landmark on one side and an empty sketch on the other, allowing people to paint the scenes in their own way. <\/p>\n

“I wanted to show everybody that you can be creative and that art is a very wonderful moving meditation and something that is really attainable to everyone,” Ascensio said. <\/p>\n

She added, “It allows you to put yourself into it and really make it your own and kind of develop at your own way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kansas City artist uses watercolor books to showcase landmarks and inspire creativity KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 Tiffany Ascensio,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[1029,45666,12566,228,226,227,8095,366011,223,12927,75959,123264,366023,42198,690,229,21299,88,30347,321461,6946,366016,277071,366020,341539,190785,94031,3729,151707,366019,366026,366017,10825,26809,6747,366024,151703,1033,366018,366021,88713,3590,28309,229518,36449,366013,6808,282,46159,366022,366015,366025,366014,142882,366012],"class_list":["post-867913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-art","tag-art-books","tag-artist","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artwork","tag-ascensio","tag-books","tag-color","tag-creative","tag-creative-activity","tag-creative-inspiration","tag-creativity","tag-culture","tag-design","tag-drop","tag-entertainment","tag-hometown","tag-hometown-art","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-art","tag-kansas-city-artist","tag-kansas-city-culture","tag-kansas-city-landmarks","tag-kmbc","tag-landmarks","tag-local","tag-local-artist","tag-local-artwork","tag-local-landmark","tag-local-landmarks","tag-love","tag-meditation","tag-missouri","tag-missouri-artist","tag-paint","tag-painting","tag-painting-books","tag-painting-landmarks","tag-passion","tag-people","tag-side","tag-sketches","tag-skill","tag-tiffany-ascensio","tag-tourism","tag-water","tag-watercolor","tag-watercolor-art","tag-watercolor-artist","tag-watercolor-book","tag-watercolor-books","tag-watercolor-painting","tag-watercoloring"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
