Starting last week, on a Monday night, I support in a local art class run by a wonderful artist friend of mine. As well as supporting I also get to participate. Now anyone who knows me knows how creative I am and I will give most things a go. But when it comes to art ……. Well that’s a different story. My sister … she’s great but I am completely out of my comfort zone; which in some respects is a good thing. As I say constantly to my learners, “you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it or feel good about it or yourself”. 
When it comes to art ... In the past I often felt disappointed in myself if it didn’t look like the image or view I was drawing or painting. Then I was told, “if you want an exact replica – take a photo. A drawing or painting is meant to be a representation not an exact copy and that can come in many forms”. So, I thought … what the heck let’s give it a go. I am trying to be looser in my methods by letting the creative right-side of my brain lead rather than the logic-led left.
Here are my three mini watercolours from this evening …. Which look nothing like the originals by-the-way 😊
