Watercolor

When we moved to India in 2022, I started exploring watercolor. And as luck would have it, I discovered Mission Gold watercolors at a local art supply store. Working in these paints were a revelation for me. As a transparent medium, watercolor requires opposite thinking from acrylic, an opaque medium, and in the past I struggled to overcome this hurdle. Circumstances deprived me of setting up to work in acrylic. Eager to paint, I dove into watercolor instead. For most of 2022, I worked almost exclusively in watercolor, taking my supplies everywhere we traveled as well as in my home studio. Slowly but surely, I started to see some results I was pleased with. Look for more watercolor paintings in the future.
