As you awa...Thank you Jean for this great reminder. As you awared, I'm recently embarking on this journey., i just managed to paint my first original piece , a potrait of close friend's baby. I then moved on to another friend's dog... Reading your post here put a pause in what i m doing now as i realised i fell into the exact pitfall needing to accomplish another piece enthusiastically and eagerly. The first piece took me 3 weeks, with breaks and rest time in between and needing to report to my 9to5 job routine. Largely also because i'm still exploring the watercolour medium and paper reactions. Often time I'm not sure and is afraid to put down my next brush stroke for fear of spoiling the art work. It was my 2nd attempt over the same piece. ....yes, taking time is the key...ahh! Time for cuppa now..:o)Jeremy Lee (Mun Loong)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01513117220943082459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195072925691815944.post-16537214401308666692013-01-13T10:47:57.763-08:002013-01-13T10:47:57.763-08:00If we place our focus on all that is wonderful in...If we place our focus on all that is wonderful in our art and life positive results will follow.
