This morning I was feeling like I needed to do something artsy, but I wanted to try something different than traditional watercolor. So, I decided to use some of that glossy cardstock from X-pedit from years ago. I also thought, why not use Distress Oxide. Well, here is why, it makes a nice misty background, but details get that chalky look and they just don't come through. To which I thought, let's try Distress Stain, still not enough detail. I finally got to Daniel Smith watercolors and started getting some color to stay when I realized I had sat the paper right in the Distress Stain. I had to scramble to remotely try and salvage this to be anything. This is where I am leaving it and moving on.
I will put it in my practice/attempt file and call it good.
So much happier with this:
This where the voice in my head said "Stop!". I did not listen. So I kept going and this is the final result:
Not bad for a good day's worth of painting.
