16.Dec.2009 Watercolor Experiments

It’s good to experiment outside of your comfort zone once in a while because while you need to be good at one thing at least, it can become limiting.  One of my professors got me interested in combining things, plus I noticed a lot of the quirky children’s books used mixed media.  But more on THAT project later.  Here, I took a watercolor class just to become familiar with the medium.  I was quite pleased to see that watercolors definitely blend faster than acrylics!  Not that I’ve become a watercolor fanatic (hardly!!) but at least I am not terrified of it anymore.  Here are a few (incomplete) ones I did.  I’m still a beginner at it, but this will become useful ..someday.
