Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ~Pablo Picasso

for the past few weeks now i've been obsessing over watercolor paintings and wanting to try a few on my own. now, i honestly can't remember the last time i played with watercolors.. 3rd grade perhaps? so it's safe to say that i have no fancy techniques or unique brush strokes to add to any sort of creation. today 

i finally bought a watercolor set.. which led to the purchase of more brushes, and watercolor pencils, and pastels, and fancy paper... i really don't know when to stop. 

so after an hour of sketching, mixing, painting and smearing..

 i share with you my final result!

i don't love it.. at all. 

but hey, there's a first time for everything and practice makes perfect, right?

i hope everyone had a lovely weekend.. 

mine was filled with many hours of work and very few hours of play. 

and now, time for monday.
