Learning Watercolour Through Experimentation
As we were changing our home decor my mom asked me for some drawings and paintings to hang on the walls. But what she wanted was quite out of my comfort zone, she asked me to make watercolour paintings of plants. Which was really hard for me since:
1- I've never worked with watercolor.
2- I rarely drew flowers.
But as mothers day approached I was determined to learn how to use watercolor.
At first I did some research about the medium and picked the paper i needed. Then I started to experiment. First I drew a small wild pensy. But the colors were not bright enough for my liking. So I adepted my style to be more bright. The second flower I chose was a bigger piece. A batch of forget me nots. They came out better. For my third piece I wanted to try a monstera leaf. But it needed more to be hung on the wall so I decided to create some contrast by using hot pink in the background. It came out looking just how my wanted. Finally I managed to get the wanted result then made another piece with a similar style and technique which also came out great. Although this journey took me almost a month and three hour drawing sessions at times I was very proud of myself. Getting out of my comfort zone and learning a new medium was great and being able to observe my mistakes and work through them with patience made the experience even more meaningful.
