    This is something I need to make myself sit down and practice. I first picked up watercolors in 2016, but I do it so infrequently that I'm still very much a beginner. And one of my biggest hangups is perfectionism, and the need for literally anything I do to be a finished piece. The idea of splitting up a piece of paper and just making blobs feels like such a waste to my uptight brain...and yet I watch stuff like this and recognize that it's 100% necessary to practice techniques! So you're all my witnesses, now. I'm going to practice making fuzzy blobs to perfect this technique!

    My first attempt was a disaster, but second time turned out nicely. I found a very small spray bottle helped for edges that needed a bit more water, helping the paint to spread more evenly in places that were drying more quickly than the rest. Love this tutorial for teaching me to work wet on wet better.
