Today, we learned about watercolours and brush strokes.
However, when it came to actually doing it ourselves, it was totally different to how the teacher did it. I found my mind just couldn't get around how I was supposed to work the watery paint and am sorry to say that I gave up almost immediately.
Aaron was really sad to see I didn't like it and wouldn't give it a good go. But you see, I've tried watercolours before - during a short art course at Kingston College not far from where we are now - and the teachers there were very down on people who just didn't catch onto something straight away. It left a big impression on me; something Aaron couldn't break.
I might try it again another time when I'm not working on such a large piece now.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
Pretty picture.
I had to use watercolours at school. I preferred to use them for backgrounds behind my pencil drawings of other things (the colours distracted from how terrible I am at drawing!)
@alia_801@loey5150 Thank you both for your lovely comments. I think it was because I had a bad set of teachers from my past who didn't treat me very well - as a student - and this is why I never really got into watercolour again.
