just started painting water colors for first time in years. its a very nice medium i think. you have an optimum amount of control but you can also get a more abstract feel and less precise, but it still looks precise, it is an elegant mess. i painted a branch which took about an hour. and i painted a shitty (hour under the brain)? rereading--what the fuck is this? funny, i dont know why i wrote that--a shitty house under the branch i meant!!-- but to be honest it's way better than i'd have expected for my first one. i did the whole thing in blue. i understand why picasso painted all in blues (well maybe): i think if you're going to paint in all of any one color blue is the color to do it. not sure why, but it's better than black or anything else. it's almost nuetral; maybe our eye sees blue underneath everything. when i see the painting in blue i don't see the blue i just see the painting. maybe it's because i am blue!! haha. also painting is a very strange experience on the mind i must say. i feel like i am a little manic but also relaxed. quite different. it was fun, i'm going to keep painting, i hope i get better at proportion bc i must say if i hadn't fucked up the house several times and had to paint darker and darker lines over it it would be a real nice painting, maybe one i'd even give away to someone special, but now i guess i'll just keep it.
ciao!
