The Muse Snoozed
AAUGH! The new WordPress update messed with the editor! 12:30 pm and I need to learn how to work a new system? Are you kidding me?
I had the post written. Done. I tried to switch back to the old editor, and BAM! No more post. AAUGH! Unbelievable.
OK, let me see, how did it go?
I putzed half of Tuesday night, and most of Wednesday working on Day two. I decided that piece was not ready for prime time, and I started a new one. I watched a video on painting loose watercolor florals. You know how I struggle with painting loose. Haha.
But I am stubborn. And I am going to keep trying until I get it right. Haha.
I sketched the baselines for the blooms, and then I splattered water on the paper. The flow of paint in water took over, which is what I wanted. But I realized, I placed the buds to close to the edges.
I had fun in the process. I noticed my body relaxed as soon as I stopped fighting with the first piece. I have painted like this before. Laughing because I always think I am going to try and do things differently in the challenge. But after having not painted for so long, the process felt new. New-ish. On to day three for you and for me!
Happy creating everyone!
The difficult is what takes a little time,
the impossible is what takes a little longer.

Day 29 Of The 30-Day Creative Gathering
Watercolor with white Posca pen. Don’t know why I have never thought of it before. I often leave the white paper showing around the blooms. But I use a black pen to define. Hmm. It’s growing on me.
I will post my last day tomorrow, along with my collage of the 30 daily paintings. Family is coming into town and I will be MIA (in the group) the first week of the month. I’ll check in when I can. I’m looking forward to seeing your collages!
