That was a wonderful lesson. Thank you. I will be giving this a try.
I smiled when you spoke of suffering over colors as a child, not because i want you to suffer, but because I wonder how many children do? Then I remembered when my mother did my room in purple, red and orange. To me the colors were horrible, i would have thrilled in pastel colors.
Maybe the reactions we had with color as a child were a hint at someday we would be artists….. Such a wonderful piece to look at, i enjoyed watching you breathe life into it.

Thank you, Adrienne! I also like the word “play” than “explore.” Crayola – I might have had those too, or maybe I used them at school …

I loved this video. My mentor and I used to have a friendly argument over the words “play” and “explore.” “Play” was my choice because it brought me back to the white paper and childhood memories of making art and experiencing how my favorite colors entered and then flowed out of me. Similar to what you have described here.
I thank you for introducing the water color pencils to me. In the fifties, it was all about Crayola crayons!
