Patience

"Patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you're waiting."  Joyce Meyer

I mixed up a denim blue color I liked....and painted circles until the paint was gone.  I was trying to practice the kissing technique where one shape bleeds into the next. 

I think I had too much water and not enough pigment in my wash so there wasn't a lot of kissing going on. Even the value differences were not as pronounced once it dried.    

I'll keep practicing....next time with a few different colors. I find painting circles and patterns quite relaxing. 

And even though it didn't dry like I had hoped... I might have saved it by adding fabric.

I auditioned several contrasting colors....but the tone on tone denim blue was the winner for this one! And maybe....this is better than too much kissing! 

I think this is my version of acting in a positive way while practicing patience with painting skills.

I think I'll be playing with the mix of watercolor and fabric for a while....it's still most definitely a thing! And I actually see one pretty juicy kiss there near the bottom!
