Open Carry

Compelled. Again.

Maybe the only way I can let the paint dry between applications is to write. Other options are... overwork the piece, or eat?

So... step one:

Technique

Make pink 

From a photo

Draw inside the lines

But first apply water

No, mix color first

Then apply water 

Before step one:

Shop. 

decompress in art store. wander aimlessly looking at stuff I don't need. acclimate. get the big picture. ignore music. crowd. 

Take out list. move towards water color paints...

Keep going down list. Ask for help. Interact with friendly customers. Chill. Enjoy. 

Remember to breath at check out, even after the discount. 

Possible to enjoy the process. Breath.

In CLASS:

Demo, notes, took pics.

Got back to my desk. Tune in, while tuning out.

Put MORE paint in the wells, it's ok.

'Trace' photo of P I N K rose. aaaarg.

Review step ONE. 

Ok, so I can't follow ALL the directions at one time...

Ok. I think I got it out of my system...

Nope. Eat something.

Now...

Try without line

Try mixing paint IN pallet

Try lines

OK, now try a rose shape...oops.

CLASS OVER!

At HOME:

Saturday ~ set up at home

Sunday ~ draw rose freehand, paint inside the lines with mixed paints... write, repeat.

Future

Three

Who cares

Five

Why

The present comprises both yet I do not know how to coexist with either
