Ohhh painting. Aside from staring at the blank pieces of paper for a few days before finally getting the confidence to do the first brushstroke, it’s been a blast. Once those first brush strokes bust the flood gates open.
So, I’ve realized the following:
– Big floral pieces are the most relaxing to paint. It’s like creating a big puzzle full of flowers.
– Portraits are a blast – once you stop being concerned with making it look exactly like the person
– Yellow ochre might be my most versatile and used color. It just makes the pinks and blues pop. Even just a few dots here and there.
– Silver brushes are incredible and worth the investment.
– I have no clue how to teach watercolor. In fact, I have soooo much to learn, in the technique department. But hey, I’m having a blast in the process.
That’s it. I have some fun stuff in the works for the shop, and a few of these paintings are headed off to new homes in Japan. More about that soon.
Yay art.
Now, go grab a brush and paint.
Or at least find a pencil and go draw.
