I pondered on this quite a while. The conclusion was the decision to continue working in mediums with which I am uncomfortable. Why? Because what we're comfortable with is easy. It doesn't challenge. It can get boring after a while. New mediums and techniques stretch creative wings. It makes one "see" in a unique way in order to render the subject in the chosen medium. I thinking "seeing" in a new way is creative growth and an invaluable experience. <BR/><BR/>There is a quote I ran across somewhere, "Be prepared technically so you will be prepared artistically when inspiration strikes" (or something like that.) So, don't throw out those watercolors just yet. Keep sloshing away with them. Of course don't abandon the beloved colored pencils either. The soul needs to be joyously creative without struggle sometimes.Speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374976843193713274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636791695283437503.post-541552477356439762008-12-07T15:49:00.000-06:002008-12-07T15:49:00.000-06:00Hi Kathleen!
