Sketchbook Explorations: Watercolor + Charcoal

In my effort to share more in more in my own space (and reclaim my time from social media), I wanted to share my sketchbook explorations. I find that carving out a little time each day to create makes me such a better person.

I've really been enjoying watercolors lately.  I have been exploring the concept of combining loose watercolor and other mediums. Today, I used a charcoal pencil to add detail to my piece. 

And as always, I find that I don't like a piece immediately when I am finished. That's ok. Not everything that I create, I will like.... But I find that once I walk away and come back to it, I do find something that is appealing.

Simply the act of picking up my paintbrush is so gratifying to me, it is worth it, regardless of outcome.  Looking forward to sharing more.
