Spending two weeks on a detailed painting is all good and well (which will be coming next week, errr, hopefully!!). But, more importantly, I want to be able to just do a fun spur of the moment one-sitting-painting that just captures whatever it is I want to capture.
While watching the latest Epic Rap Battle of History on youtube, I found my way to marydoodles. Mary does watercolor, and doodles (as you may have guessed). She's really good, fun, and instructive to watch (see video below). After watching a couple of her videos, I was just encouraged to go for it!
No fretting on subject matter! If you haven't been inspired, just paint what is directly in front of you. And so here's my one-sitting-painting doodle. Didn't sketch or plan.Just picked up my brush and started.
For those wishing to dabble in some water color, I highly recommend you subscribe, watch some videos, and give it a shot or two. Now, don't be alarmed. I've seen quite a few of her videos, and she does plan these doodles and sketches them on a separate piece of paper before going in with the brushes.
This is good to know, because generally speaking, it's not a good idea to directly paint something you A. Have never painted before and B. don't have a reference for, either a picture or real life!
