    Watercolor intimates the heck out of most learners, but what you said about experimenting to see what happens is exactly what I love about working in mixed media using watercolor and media that resist water, like oil pastels or even just colored pencils. It scratches my science brain and my art brain together.

    This is great. I love her style! I'm legit sad I couldn't see you while you were in LA. I've spent the better part of the last 15 years trying to become someone you would seek to meet up with when you're in my neck of the woods lol. Ah well, I still have our pics with my DFTBA license plates :-)
