Art for Idiots....

No offense to the great and fabulous artists who have used watercolors to inmortalize the objects of their passion or as the outlet of their tortured souls, but watercolors is idiot proof. I'm serious. I bought this set of watercolors a few months ago at the supply store at school and although I had every intention of using them, I was a little scared. I mean, as I've mentioned before, I'm not exactly the most artistic person. Writing, cooking, those are the things I do well.
Anyway, as I said before, lately I've been sketching a lot and drawing with markers and feeling very "artistic" in that way that people that aren't gifted with painting skills tend to feel, I took the plunge.
I diluted the paste in a little water, took out my really cheap brushes and my Canson sketch pad and began drawing the lotus flower. It's basically the most romantic flower I've learned to draw so far, so bear with me. Anyway, I began painting and it really wasn't THAT hard. I mean, I have a loooong way to go, but I thought that for a first try they were really decent. I'll let you be the judge of that.
Just wanted to get all that off my chest. Watercolor: IT AIN'T THAT HARD! (I love the word ain't.) I'll keep practicing, maybe I can end up painting some pretty decent pictures. So, yes, Watercolors are idiot proof, if I can do it, anyone can.

Love out,
