It feels great to start a watercolor on a full sheet(22" x 30"). That's a lot of paper to cover with paint. However, I have been eager for this moment for sometime.
In the past I have capably painted full sheet watercolors. However, I feel like I am a different painter now. It seems like I have greater command of my palette than in the past. Also, I want to think my paintings are more fluid and saturated in color than in the past.
Finally, in the last year, every time I started a full sheet I had some obstacle in my way. In 2023 I started a watercolor just as I came down with Covid-19 and another time an abrupt trip to Maine to help move an elderly relative effected the progress of that painting. Also, in 2023 I had an eye infection which took me five months to recover from.
Hopefully, 2024 will be prosperous and productive.
