I believe that different creative pursuits support eachother. That's why I do realism; I do realism because it improves the quality of my creative drawings and paintings, and I paint because it makes me a better creative writer.
Watercolour has helped adjust my attitude towards life. When you paint with watercolours you never know exactly what you're going to get. You can put in the water but you can't control exactly how the paint will settle. You can make adjustments, but in the process you will change other tiny details. There are things you can't take back; at best some things you can dab until they fade but every mistake will be there, but part of the wateroclourist's job is making that part of a piece that is beautiful.
There is beauty in the unpredictable nuances, in the varying intensity and blends of colours. Watercolour is a very natural type of art, but the piece still is what you make of it.
