So at last, I have been approved to work in my favorite mediums, after my toxic medication scare.  It has been a joy digging them out of storage and getting acquainted again.  Whenever you take a break ,from either your medium or from painting in general , it is like a flower opening up again.  You get to experience again the beauty and joy that those mediums brought you and remember why you love them.

 

You also get to appreciate what you learned in the new medium that you worked in, in this case, watercolors.  I have loved exploring new techniques and ways in which it enhances my art journey. Working in watercolor has also taught me patience, but in a good way.  It has also taught me that , sometimes, what we think we know about something is far from the truth.  Working with watercolor has sped up my plein air painting because of the fast drying times when outside. It has also been amazing to find that if you make a goof, in most cases, you can  correct it.   

Now that I can finally work in my preferred mediums, I will still be doing studies in watercolors as the spontaneity of that medium provides a freshness to my work and the challenge to not overthink it. 

 

so I am looking forward to seeing where this takes me on my continuing journey through art.

 

Happy Painting,
