I wanted to make something small and quick, just to play with my watercolors. Three hours, three bottles of ink, one pan of watercolors, and a caligraphy pen later I had this. I stamped a map image in one corner as well.
I finished around 2am. So the moral of the story is I can’t be trusted with art projects close to bedtime.
This is a huge departure from my usual style but the doodles were relaxing and fun and I enjoyed letting the paint do what it wanted. I’m not in love with it, but I don’t hate it. This will likely be part of Shop The Swap in the fall and I may make a few others.
@Abbeeroad - thank you! It was a lovely, relaxing paint and the white and gold ink doodles were especially fun. My art isn’t usually so loose and free. I’m working from a specific idea or design. With this one, I let myself do whatever. Watercolor blobs touching? No big deal. Weird swirly shape I didn’t intend? Go with it. Definitely going to try embracing that a bit more in future projects!
