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 ❤️.

@samueltyler2 I finished my art and I made a post about it.
