Okay, so these Autumn days are moist, and it gets dark so early. I was just sitting outside in the Sun enjoying a cool beverage and suddenly it is almost December. I feel like I have no time once again to do anything, but the truth is that I have lots of time, I just don’t seem to organize it well.
I am working on smaller pictures and taking my drawing less seriously of late, I was getting kind of stuck and frustrated and wasn’t having fun, but now I am. I had drawn a larger picture and I kind of muffed it up and I am surprised at how much it frustrated me. I took a few steps both backwards and forwards.
Steps Backwards – I am drawing smaller, easier to manage drawings with less detail. And the smaller size lets me get away with looser painting. This is what I wanted to do, not sure why I complicated things?
Steps Forwards: I am using better paper, I have not been using my cheap drawing paper, I have full watercolour paper. My book of paper cost 23$ at Michaels and it works beautifully.
Lesson Learned: Use some good tools until you get creative/good enough to be successful with the not so good tools. It takes time!
