For the past six weeks I have been keeping busy with a watercolor class. Watercolor was completely new to me, I had not a clue as to what to expect. The first couple of days were quite frustrating, the paint wouldn't do what I wanted it to, and it seemed as though the harder I tried, the worse the outcome. Many horrible paintings later, I finally realized that I couldn't force it--I had to let the paint do its own thing. Once I figured that out, I would lay down color and guide it into a composition, exploring reactions of water, paper and pigment.
After six weeks, I had 90 paintings. Varying in size, most however are on the small side of things, about 4in x 6in. This first set of paintings is of buildings around Moscow.
