I love transparent watercolors. They were the emphasis for my art degree and are the subject for my current college course.
.
If youâve dabbled in watercolors before, you know they are
1. Frustrating to attempt to control
2. Mistakes are difficult to cover (because hello, transparent watercolors)
3. You have to preserve any white of the paper by masking (there is no white paint)
4. Planning is essential as winging it could be detrimental
.
If you know me, the above list is anxiety-inducing and for a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I also recognize there are art forms out there that cause much less stress.
.
Honestly, knowing that watercolors have a mind of their own are the constant reminder that perfection is unattainable and rather, I should aim for progress and growth.
.
I spent the weekend working on a watercolor painting due for class tomorrow. I somehow finished an entire day early, which means I have a whole day to reflect on the process and nitpick the things I would have done differently and the successes I achieved along the way.
.
The concept of Practice making progress is easily applied to any skill you are hoping to better, (athletics, baking, mathematics, writing) but since you are reading the words of an art teacherâpainting it is. I began planning my current painting in December, digitally. I spent nearly ten hours digitally painting my planning composition before painting the watercolor piece. Another 40 hours went into the watercolor version.
.
It isnât perfect. The drafting tape ripped the surface of the paper in areas. I would have done some things differently. It isnât perfect. But there are fifty hours of learning and progress that took place.
.
Remember darling, perfection is unattainable.
.
Focus on the progress, even if others canât see the practice that went into it.
.
What progress are you celebrating today?
