I found that some of life's greatest revelations can discovered on the open road with nothing more than an evening breeze, jazz on the radio, and a 5lb bag of gummi bears. I've also learned that I'll always have more questions than answers (and that's okay!). May this be a written and visual documentation of this crazy journey we call life.

Did I ever post this?


It's my final illustration for class this past semester. Watercolor.

I'm really feeling confident with this medium. If you've ever tried watercolor, you know that it has a mind of it's own and is easily affected by humidity, dampness of the paper, ratio of pigment to water, thickness of the paper, etc. It's a humbling medium and only recently have I felt comfortable with my ability to convince the paint to go where I want it to go. Working with watercolor is like nudging a stubborn infant, a dance between brush and paper and towel (to lift off pigment) that has to occur during a small window of opportunity when everything is still wet.

I love the entire process.

No you have not posted this! and how could you not! It looks like you've got a really good grasp on watercolor! Is this going to open up some new doors in the wonderful land of Michael artwork? I hope so!
