Watercolor Therapy

I started doing watercolor paintings with the Sakura Koi watercolor set after I saw it at Craft Camp.

Since it’s so portable, I’ve started painting in unusual places – on my patio, at coffee shops, in the car, at the Arboretum, in church.

I might paint what’s in front of me or I might do something abstract. Unless I’m doing a painting for someone else, I don’t really care if people like what I paint.

There is something magical about the strokes of color on the paper and therapeutic about playing with shading and palettes and accepting the outcome, even if it’s not what I’d envisioned.

  1. Okay, so you’re officially a triple threat artist – taking beautiful photographs of your awesome watercolors whilst writing about it. :)

    Looks like great fun – I can see how amazingly therapeutic it must be.

  2. I did some watercolour painting a long time ago and really enjoyed it. I like your idea of doing it anywhere. It’s very like the English 18th -19th century Grand Tours of Europe. And it means your room always has a view.

  3. I love that little kit! And what you’ve done with it…it is so freeing to create just for yourself, without thinking about anyone else. I love them all. Arizona must be such a pretty place to paint…
