With some trepidation I submit the following to Paint Party Friday, the rockin' paintfest organized by Kristin and EVA.
This week I decided to try my hand at some watercolor/ink drawing - a medium I've never been too adept at.
Why?
Turner painted over 500 watercolours, as it turns out. How could I then not at least make a stab at it? Aside from that, they were handy - but full disclosure: these are not actually watercolors, but food coloring. I went through an odd phase 7 years ago where I painted with nothing but food coloring and plant pigments- it was fun and surprisingly stable - IE colours didn't wash out. And today, rummaging through some stuff, I found the little vials of food coloring.
What I dislike about the medium vs. oil or acrylic is there's no turning back---- you can pave over oil mistakes or faux pas right and left, but with water medium? We can see here...
