RE: Quick watercolor portrait even thou I'm not supposed to..

in #art7 years ago

So pretty! I'd love to see a bit of your process for doing portraits in watercolor. I feel like it's one of the trickiest combinations. But you are getting some very lovely results.

Good job taking some rest time. It can be a real challenge! I usually feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to get the basics done, let alone any "self care". lol

Unfortunately, I know the time restriction all too well. Right now my only uninterrupted art time is during my toddler's nap. 90 min is not very long when you're getting into the zone.

Hey @offbeatbroad! ^^ Thank you so much! :D Yes, I try to be good at taking process photos, but lately I've just gone into my zone and forgotten all about it before its too late. But! Today I made a new watercolor portrait where I DID take quite a few process shots, so tomorrow I'll write a good one ^^

It CAN be quite a challenge!! Hahah.. Thank you for recognizing that! :) That has been my constant challenge these past weeks, that I feel like the days are not long enough.. Self care has for sure been under prioritized but then it just gets to that point when your're like, ''Hold on.., for this painting thing to be enjoyable, I need to put in time for some good old re-charging, self loving, be out among the trees and birds time'' ;)

And 90 min, that is not very long indeed... ;) But! We all take what we get right? :) And having a little one, that must be THE most amazing thing^^

Awesome! I will definitely have a look at it!
Yes, anything is better than nothing, for sure. My kids are pretty amazing (most of the time. ;) ) I think it's just a matter of figuring out what your biggest priorities are, and most of us seem to forget to prioritize ourselves until we are reminded to. :)
