I have long loved (and neglected) my watercolors. I lean more towards digital art these days and when I did pick up my watercolors I felt like I needed to do it right since I never knew when I’d pick them up again. 

these exercises were relaxing and freeing. I told myself it was ok to make ugly art. I entered flow state with two of the activities and really enjoyed the act of painting regardless of how it turned out. It was just fun to play with color and my brushes and see what happened while not taking care to prescribe the outcome.
