I love painting

I spent a few hours doing some more watercolour painting today. I was having so much fun that I continued until dusk. I tried the adding salt to watercolour trick today. So I am looking forward to seeing how that turned out. One thing I am learning is that when I sketch I need a lighter hand. Because the lines are showing when I paint over them. I guess it's all about practice. But I am enjoying the process and it's helping my anxiety so much. It's great theraphy because while I am painting I'm not worrying about the future. I am there is the prsent drawing or painting. So it's a great mindfulness technique. I will take a picture when it's done. I am adding some other things so this one will be mixed media. A few areas of pastels and coloured pencil just to add in some details. I'm no expert, just a beginner. A budding artist if you like but I am in love with my new hobby. I say new I've played with watered down acrylics before. But there's just something about the unpredictability about this medium that's captured my heart ❤️.

I'm just an amateur but I do love it. I think it's about time I drag out my art supplies and give it a try. You have inspired me to do so.

Yay!!! I’ve had a similar experience with drawing. Just plain good for the soul! I’m glad it’s doing good things for you too and look forward to seeing your efforts. I’ve not tried the salt but I’ve seen videos and that is so cool! Hope you get a great effect! 😄👍
