I spent some time just playing with my watercolors... just letting them mix and blend within shapes I drew. That's my favorite thing about these paints. They can be unpredictable, but have so much expressive potential.
It's funny to think that back in college, I was so NOT into watercolors. I told myself I would only love oils... HA! Then I became a stay-at-home mom and oils weren't the best option. They're so messy!
Over the past three years I have totally fallen in love with watercolors and I'm really addicted to painting with them :) They never do exactly what I expect them too, but that's part of the fun!
Very pretty. It's funny how our perceptions of what we "should" like change as we get older. And, as much as I don't like getting older, it's nice to be more comfortable with who I really am.
ReplyDeleteLove that Elise! I so have to figure out how to paint with watercolours...
ReplyDeleteI like the work you do. I am just starting to get into painting with watercolors. What kind of paints do you use?
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! x
ReplyDeletei love watercolor for the same reason - its unpredictability. my gram painted in oils, mostly repros of the masters, but that never attracted me. i love your free-spirited style - keep up the great work!
