colour my world

It’s been a while since I have written a post so it has forced me to reflect on what’s new in my life since my last blog. COLOUR (or color, for our US readers). For the last couple of months I have taken up a Watercolour Painting Class on a Friday morning (apparently this is what ladies do with their spare time), which has proven to be a very interesting process.

Firstly, I’m a complete novice and quickly learning that there are two masters involved with watercolour painting, you and the paper. I’m so used to working on a computer and having complete control over the work that I produce. Working with a medium where the whim of the paper, paint and water can take the work in unexpected directions is very hard to get used to but also very refreshing. Imagine working on an advertisement and then at a seemingly random moment the computer decided to add some lorem ipsum and flip the work sideways and slip down the page! Sometimes the mistakes are happy ones.

Maybe by next blog I might be brave enough to post some examples of my work but at this point please enjoy these artists.
