This week I forgot to include my paint brushes when I met with our dedicated art group. That is a first, at least for me. Fortunately, we share not just our experiences but our materials. It gave me an opportunity to practice with some different brushes. In particular, I liked the feel and control of this Holbein brush I used.
This little imaginary watercolor sketch was done with the Holbein brush. Since I was unfamiliar with the brush and how it handled, I figured it was best to do a warm up exercise.
It is always satisfying to complete a watercolor in one sitting, when possible. When you're inspired and you feel a good vibe, the painting progresses well. During this process, I feel the freedom to experiment and drop in pigment to existing washes. I find this freshness hard to duplicate at a later date. It may not be my best painting, but I learn from them all, nevertheless.
