Layered Watercolor Magic
I had a chance to hang out with my mom for a couple of days. She is such a good influence.
She paints.
Watercolors. Wet. Dry.
Inks. Very exploratory.
What if I add this? And then she does.
She had barely started and said, “I don’t like this.”
But stuck with it.
And usually, to be fair, that IS what is needed. To keep with it.
Painting.
Pushing.
Trying.
Layering.
At the end,-we both liked it. (I really liked it.)
And then, she changed it again.
Adding a bird. Continuing on her playful, creative painting journey.
I feel like I tend to play it safer. More controlled? Although, I like using colors that maybe shouldn’t be mixed- trying purposely to make it ugly.
Make mud.
Puddling. Pooling.
Either way.
Any way.
It was a great time.
Watching paint dry. Trying. Dripping ink. Sprinkling more water.
