Some of you are probably wondering how the Jump-Start watercolor challenge is going for me. Actually, I assume that you have completely forgotten about it, which is mete, right and salutary – no need for you to tuck that kind of extraneous information into your already-busy brains. However, now that I’ve stirred up the pot of memory for you, I’ll get you up to date and expect that you’ll similarly forget this in a timely fashion. It’s all good.
There are 30 Jump-Start watercolor lessons in all, done by Jenny Granberry on YouTube. Each video is less than 10 minutes and I’ve found them to be a very good introduction to watercolor painting in general and with some good specific challenges. I like her approach and appreciate the time and talent she put into making these videos. Her narrations are informative and sometimes amusing.
I shared the first 15 on this blog awhile ago and have now done all but that last four. Many of the ones in the last half of the challenge have been more time-intensive, often requiring drawing first.
If you have considered dabbling in watercolor, I’d recommend trying these out. I’ll feature more of mine every week or so just to give you an idea of what the projects look like. Sometimes my own brand of weirdness takes over, so you should definitely check hers out to see the originals.
Let me know how your own endeavors are going with whatever it is that you’ve been challenging yourself to learn how to do. I love it when this becomes a conversation!
I’ll probably delete this in the morning…
