My first attempt to watercolor

pink color inspiration

There is one thing I have to say before you start reading this post. Today was my first time working with watercolors EVER so don't worry, I will not scare you with my masterpiece! At least not yet (laugh). Watercolor has always fascinated me because even the most simple smudge of color looks like art. What I know after today is that it takes time and repeated effort to get comfortable with it. And that making those artistic looking smudges, is not as easy as I thought. Anyway I can finally say I've made my first attempt. So let me tell you how it was. Being a beginner means you need to start somewhere, right? So I wasn't trying to paint anything specific, I was just experimenting with different amounts of water versus paint to get the right 'feeling'. And I have to admit, even though it wasn't proper painting, I loved it! I will definitely continue mastering my skills to learn all the different techniques. Also, while painting...I came up with a few ideas to add watercolor touch to my Spring home decor. I have to tell you, it looks amazing in my head but you will need to come back in few days to see how it really turned out!

    1. They might be a bit intimidating but once you start it's a lot of fun. Haha I'm making some little Easter decorations out of what was meant to be my 'masterpiece' :D

    1. Ohh I love watercolor art! I find it so inspiraing and it doesn't look too difficult to paint... but I guess it takes more than one session to make it look arty-enough :))
