Magnolias Ink and watercolor Stillman & Birns Zeta Sketchbook, 7.5" x 7.5" |
Is this more
of a drawing or more of a painting?
I am not
sure.
Does it
matter? Not really.
What does
matter?
The way as
soon as I saw the watercolors begin to puddle and mix, I felt very satisfied
and happy.
The way the
combination of cobalt blue, cobalt violet, and quinacridone magenta vibrate
with energy, at least for me.
The way I
felt connected to a helpful community artists before and while I painted: Emily Weil advising me, in-person at a painting lesson just days earlier, to paint
what I’m drawn to in the style I like in order to learn more deeply; Liz Steel,
via online video Sketching Now watercolor class, demonstrating how to use
washes; and Antrese Wood, via Savvy Painter podcast, talking about resistance
and the artist.
Yes, I
experienced the magic I’d been seeking.
