Figure Study

Watercolor is so versatile I love it. This morning I woke up with a cough and a sore throat, I think due to this poor air quality. Instead of painting a watercolor I did a figure study in my sketchbook. I pretty much painted this while standing up.

What makes watercolor so versatile is that you can paint on various scales with multiple-sized palettes. I have an expandable palette which will fit in a small ziploc bag and others the size of my computer. Plus, you can paint on so many different surfaces. I have painted on various textures of paper, illustration board, numerous sketch books and with mixed media.

For me keeping the continuity of painting going is important. It is all too easy to become distracted or sidetracked. I learn so much about watercolor painting on a daily basis.
