It feels good to pick up a sheet of watercolor paper and see what I can do with it. Sometimes that is on the backside of an incomplete watercolor I had started. It doesn't matter how thick or what type of surface it is. Whether it is rough or smooth paper I love to experiment with different techniques.
This practice keeps me going forward and reduces my stress at the same time. This is very satisfying particularly with the state of politics in this country and beyond.
Today I went cross country skiing and took mental notes of the colors I saw in the landscape. The snow and shadows clarified what I was seeing. The blues, yellows and browns I saw may end up in a painting soon. If not in a full painting at least in a watercolor study.
