Today was my second watercolor class. I am SO bad at watercolors. But you can't expect to pick something up and be a master at it. You have to be willing to do some awful work before you get good at it. You have to be willing to fail, and to learn from that. It's humbling, I think.
Something I'm good at, though... I'm working on some crazy vampire drawings. Winter's coming, and winter always makes me think about being dead and eternal, wearing long coats and gloves, scarves and high collars. I've started doing stuff on 14x17 paper, and I'm going to be SO happy when we move and I have a REAL drafting table to work at.
Remember the dreams you had when you were in high school? The things you wanted to do with your life? Why do we give those up? Why do we trade those in for an SUV and a cellphone? Why do we compromise the things that were/are important for a washer and dryer?

Watercolours are wicked. I've never mastered them, even though I yearn to be a watercolur hotshot like Edmond Dulac. Someday...
