Elsa and I have been doing lots of drawing and watercolor while here. It's been a wonderful way to bond and also do something new! I bought myself a mini watercolor set and a beautiful moleskine watercolor sketch pad for the trip. I use one of Teddy's hard mechanical pencils to do the initial drawings then add color with a mixture of Elsa's colored pencils, vintage watercolor pencils and my mini watercolors. I am LOVING exploring color! I don't do that with my claywork so it's very liberating and freeing. I also like to do these paintings as it grows dark in the evening so the colors are slightly skewed by the growing dark and I have to wait until morning to see the true colors in the daylight.
