art therapy

I had two wisdom teeth extracted today...hurts like mad. I decided to watch some You Tube videos to learn how to do watercolour paintings and got inspired. As it turns out painting in a loose, relaxed style like this was good therapy for me :)

Thanks Lisa! I still feel like a chipmunk at the moment.

The watercolour painting felt reasonably intuitive but it was just one colour, so it's not too different to the graphite stuff I do in terms of seeing tones and form. I'm not sure I'd do so well with a landscape or anything that needed more than one colour :)
