My first attempt to watercolor

passionshake5-1-of-1-1
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!

      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’ πŸ˜€

    I’ve also been wanting to try my hand at watercolors! I would love to make my watercolor paintings to hang around the house. I love the colors you chose!

    • Aga Tinca says:

      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 :))

  4. Sounds like you’re doing well! Like everything else, painting with watercolors becomes easier and easier each time πŸ™‚ Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
