IF: Fluid

The word fluid makes me think of water and motion, so I created a composition that combined those two ideas, and naturally I felt that watercolor would be the perfect medium for this weeks topic. I haven't painted anything in a while so I was getting a little frustrated, and at one point was going to throw it away! But after working with it for a while, I managed to pull through and make something that I'm happy with :) . Also Happy late year of the dragon!

IF: Cultivate

"Cultivating a Friendship"
I decided to make it my mission over spring break to try out some new mediums and techniques, so for this weeks submission I chose to play around with water color. This was challenging as I feel that I have only just become comfortable with using a pencil, and now I'm trying to learn how to deal with the unpredictability of a paint brush! However even though my first try turned out to be a messy experiment, I'm determined to master this new medium!
Also there is an exhibit at the Legion of Honor featuring the work of Arthur Szyk, which further inspired me to improve :)
