The second project in Heather Smith Jones' Water Paper Paint was working watercolors with the wet into dry technique. (You can check out project 1 in an earlier blog post.) In this project, we created color squares of all shapes, while learning how to mix the paints with each other.
It was amazing to see how many colors you can actually make with just the basic set. I was using Winsor & Newton's Travel Watercolor set. My squares are not perfectly shaped, but I'm slowly getting the feel of the different brushes. While this isn't a large painting, it took me forever to make. I'm finding that watercolor painting is relaxing and easy to get absorbed in. I'm already terrible at keeping track of time and it whizzes by when I'm painting.
