How to Get Started on Watercolor When Life is Busy: My Story

Рет қаралды 9,914

Күн бұрын

Recently, some of my lovely friends asked me the question, “How do you find time to watercolor?” My friends tell me that they love watercolor, but they have such a long to-do-list, and it is really hard to find time to sit down, pull out all the supplies and then start to watercolor? It seems impossible to fit watercolor in the busy life! My friends know that I have a busy farm life, so how do I still have time to watercolor?
Well If you have the same question, then I do have an answer, and I have a story to tell you. It was a simple act that changed my journey both in art and in Life.

That make sense, what made me a creative kid growing up was that all my craft and art supplies were at hands reach. Nobody ever put those away for me, they were anywhere where I last painted or drew. Whenever I need something I went ahead and made one,because I knew where everything was and they were easy to reach. The saying stays true “out of sight, out of mine” in the past 6 years I have cramped myself and life in a small apartment, so everything need to be put away always deep in a drawer that you can’t get to unless you move a couple boxes away 😅 but I have also just rented a studio space, it’s been a struggle filling up the space because I had cramped myself for too many years, and the fear to lose the space and had to force to reduce my belonging again. Such a struggle, but it’s all a part of life. Thanks for the motivation, I’ll be setting up my art table today ❤

Wow thank you so much for sharing your story! It really inspires me too! Actually for two years I was going through an extensive home remodeling, and had to live in many odd places. But I did always put my watercolor out, even if it was right by my bed! And I found actually it made me feel so peaceful to see my watercolor tools when I opened my eyes first thing in the morning. Art is the unreplaceable food for the soul. Again love your story and appreciate your light! 👋🙏💞

That sure is a good advice, and one that I tend to discover myself and than forget it, again and again :) and than I am surprised why I am feeling so down again... I love how vibrant and soft your paintings are... I just never manage to achieve that look :)
