The freedom of watercolors.

Our lives are fast and we need to keep running to keep up with all the changes. What if we want to stand still for a moment? What if we need to have a moment all to our self? What if we want the time to clear our mind and think of nothing?

At a moment like that I try to keep away from any electronics. Except for maybe some music. I like to gather my watercolors and don’t make anything. Just let the colors and fluids do what they want. I guide them to places where they can make beauty bloom. No set plan, no sketches and no drama.

Drop color in a few places. Then drop some more. Maybe make some colors meet and see what pattern and color they create.

When your done and feel a little more at ease, you can start cloud watching in the blobs you created on your sheet of paper or canvas. Did you see something funny or nice? Grab a fine brush or a fine liner and let it trace the picture you saw. You don’t have to make something pretty, just let your calmness guide you.
