watercolor studies at the park
brought my sakura koi water colors pocket field sketch box with me to the playground. my daughter got to spend two hours having a blast with the other kids (it was nice out, so there were plenty) while i practiced my painting. the best way to grow as an artist is just to make a ton of art. as a recovering perfectionist, i still have to remind myself that it’s okay to mess up, make ugly things, experiment, go with the flow, and just practice. doing those things is what has led to the most improvement for me. every year, my drawing skills increase through my participation in inktober (six years and counting). i’m going to keep practicing various mediums, and keep posting the results – not just the good ones.
