#30×30, 2025, Day 23: Back to the Basics

8×8″ Watercolor on Fabriano Artistico 140lb Cold Press.

So! Just over a week left in the thirty day marathon!

I’m starting to feel a little mentally fatigued with so much learning of new things. I’ve been fussing around with gouache every day, with nothing to show for it on the ‘big panting’ goal. I’ve had a couple more giant-sized failures that I don’t think I’ll share – don’t want to belabor that point :)

Suffice to say; you can’t pick up a new medium and master it in a few weeks :)

It’s a kind of simple joy to go back to traditional watercolor. For me, it’s instinctive by now, so the paintings just happen on their own :)
