Time off
After the holidays this past year, I promised myself I would take two weeks off in the spring. Kind of a gift for myself. No specific plans, no big to do list to work through…just a few weeks where I could hang out, spend time doing what I wanted to do, and take my time doing the things that I need to do.
On Monday “day 1″, first thing in the morning I went to the Art Supply store and stocked up on watercolor paper, watercolor paints, brushes, and some water soluble color pencils. I was already in the middle of a piece that combined gouache and ink but I’ve been wanting to try watercolors. Still not clear to me what the difference is between gouache and watercolors, but I guess I will find out. Last night I finally finished the gouache, ink piece.
I am on day 4 of my “break” and it’s been nice. The weather hasn’t been on my side but that’s ok. My husband and I are going to drive to my mom’s tomorrow (a few states away) to visit for a couple of days. We should be back on Sunday night.
Then I have another whole week before I have to go back to work! Yay!
