I spent the afternoon playing with watercolor and enjoying the process (with a couple friends). We experimented with salt, blowing paint through screening, and using a lot of water. We focused more on the creative process and less on what was being created. It was very freeing just to play. As artists, I think we tend to be hard on ourselves with many expectations of what art is "supposed" to be. (ok, climbing off the soapbox now. Next...)

ReplyDeleteyou too ... sounds like we had similar shared studio experiences the past 2 days (and bet we had the same sweet visitor too).
