I joined an on-line class with Alex Kincaid on loose watercolor style flowers. This cornflower was near the beginning of the series. I really enjoyed her easy-going approach and constant encouragement to keep trying. It is much looser than my usual realistic type floral paintings. But with the ease of painting, I discovered the flower was still quite recognizable and the form was not lost with less detail.
It seems this is a season for me to loosen up and I’m finding I really enjoy it and am satisfied with the results.
Take a moment to reflect on your current manner of life. Are you bogged down with details and forgetting how to appreciate simplicity? Maybe it is time for you to take a step back and do something just for fun.
