Not to worry. I didn't stay disheartened for long. I have been used to the opaque media process for planning a painting. When I considered it for longer, I realized some of the process that I used would still be useful for planning the composition. The “ all or nothing” perfectionist part of me thought I would have to learn far too many new watercolor skills/ techniques before doing my next watercolor painting. I remembered that reality for me is that even a few skills, knowing some fundamentals of visual art along with curiosity and a spirit of play has and will serve me well. I look forward to your next articles and learning and playing.
