Show and Tell

Hey there! I thought my first post on this blog would be a bit about myself and some of the art that I have done in the past year or so.

Now a little bit about myself. I am a recent undergraduate that is now on the path of trying to figure out what to do now that I have my bachelor's degree in psychology. I now awaiting to find out if I have been accepted into a graduate school for a master's degree program for social work.

Art for me whether it includes watching others create art or creating it myself, is a way to help me release emotions but to create things that make others and me happy. I love making things for my family. It is also away for me to get away from things and to have a healthy release of emotions. I really do believe that art is a wonderful and beautiful therapy for many people. I would love to eventually help others use art as a type of therapy.

I am not very good with words, whether expressing them on paper or verbally and having a camera, a pencil or brush in hand is a way to help me tell my story of that moment.

Art is a learning experience. I am always learning whether it is different mediums or working on different techniques among those mediums. As of right now I am working on watercolors. I actually created a two month Watercolor Challenge that includes challenges of subjects that I want to work on or learn how to paint with watercolors.

I have recently found a love with experimenting with watercolors as I enjoy their transparency and brilliance and the techniques that come with type of paint. I love how different colors dance on the page that is covered with clear water or how they mingle and merge with each other. I also enjoy other works of art with this paint as they can be as abstract, luscious, realistic or impressionistic as the artist wants. I have found some wonderful artists during my search for tutorials in watercolor.

Now here is some art that I have done in the past year. I hope you enjoy!
