When does one even start calling themselves “an artist”? 🙈
Here are a few things I’m not ashamed to admit:
1. I use student-grade paints and affordable tools. I’m certainly going to invest in professional-grade pigments and other supplies, but I wanted to see if I was serious about painting before I did that.
2. I love a loose, semi-controlled painting style, and I was sure it would become my style. But in practice, I hated painting that way and almost gave up on watercolour altogether because of it. Everything changed when I let go of my own expectations and just started painting the way I like!
3. I certainly overwork my paintings at this point, and feel afraid to let the watercolour flow more. But I’m getting there.
4. After a year of painting, I’m still figuring out my own unique style and creative path. But I’ve made some pretty significant progress, and I’ll share more about that in another post!
