The Start of a Project

Ok, so I took the plunge and joined my local art association! (oops, I just looked at the calendar and I already missed the first general meeting, darn!) Well, anyway, this is a big step for me because I'm trying to be more serious about developing as an artist, as well as gain more confidence about showing my work. The art scene is still relatively new to me, but I've learned so many things since I started drawing/painting again last May.

First of all, I discovered that I really like watercolors and I like using the canson paper you can buy in big sheets. Although the paper buckles a bit after getting wet, the paint and color pencils just glide so easily on its surface.

So here's a "blank canvas" all rolled up and waiting for me to paint on it...



I already have an idea of what to do and even a reference picture I took. I just have to start it. Not sure how long it will take me to complete, but I'm looking forward to doing this and recording the process.
