BECOMING A PAINTER... OR NOT...

The first craft I want to focus on is drawing and painting. This, because I already had paper, a pencil and watercolors in my house. What if it seems that i am really good in painting? Of course I will immediately change my broadening journey into an in-dept journey!

I started to collect the resources and the accessories that i needed.

So... the first four things were not too hard to collect, but step 5 took me some time.
While I was thinking of something to draw my cat was walking dapper over the empty paper. I figured that she would be an excellent candidate to become my muze, so I started to draw her on the paper.
With some time and an eraser I eventually managed to get a pretty nice picture of a cat on the paper. Wow.. was it my lack of patience when I thought I coulnd't draw, or is this just luck?
Either way, I am certainly proud of the drawn result.

After i had been watching my drawing proudly for hours I decided that I wanted to finish the drawing with the watercolor. I already visioned my artwork framed on the wall in my living room, and everybody who was visiting me was admiring my work. With courage i grabbed a glass of water for the brushes and i opened my box of watercolor, which i purchased at the Intertoys. I sat behind my pride and than the real problems started; I had to think of a suitable color for my masterpiece. And not only the color turned out to be a problem, I also had to figure out how I would paint the drawing. Shall I color the drawing just as a coloring page, or shall I make a big, flat, a-symmetrical application, so it becomes really artfully? Great god, maybe I should take a little more time to think about this..
The next day I decided what to do with my masterpiece and the watercolor. I also knew what color I was going to use; pink was the color. I was sure it had to be pink. Bravely I picked up my brush, moistened it slightly and baptized him in the pink paint. The first pink spot was a fact, but I was certainly not happy. It suddenly became a horrible saccharine painting. Then i decided it should be green. Yes, green it will be! I cleaned my brush and moistened him again with some water and baptized it in the green paint this time. While the pink paint was not dry yet, I started to work with the green color. It became a bit of a grubby color. I decided to use more water, not knowing that this paper could not bear so much moisture. The green paint was now mixed with pieces of paper in a granular form. I saw my dream go up in smoke. That was my masterpiece. Ruined by myself.

Watercolor is not really my cup of tea. I am afraid I have to start looking for another form of creativity.
