This class is a breather from work! I always tend to overwork and render overtime hours every single day. This class reminded me to take breaks (each project video is less than 20 minutes), allowed me to be carefree, and let my mind wander.

Day 1: I love how this class taught me to use only ONE paint and still create a masterpiece!

Day 2: A common thing such as a tree can be intimidating to paint but this project allowed me to just let the paints bloom!

Day 3: Doing this after a hectic work day. Not satisfied with the first background so I made another one without adding the tree/details. I resumed painting the morning after and I am SO in love with the outcomes.

Day 4: I love painting on a day off because I can take my time and cherish every second of watercolor paint combining with water! I love creating the details of this one because I never imagined I can paint a boat!

(will be updated once I finished all projects)

I have learned a few lessons: to let go and not mind the outcome of each painting. Such lessons are applicable to my professional career: I have learned to let go of things beyond my control and put them in HIS hands. There's no point in mulling over things I can't control but instead, I should put more focus in bettering myself, skills, and talents.
