Watercolor?

I was reading Vicki's blog the other day and she linked to an entry on another blog in which the author posted a still life photograph and challenged people to paint it.

I have some watercolors, and some watercolor paper, but I never, ever actually do watercolors. I figured it would be a challenge, all right, so I shrugged and got out the equipment.

It's true, I'm no watercolorist. 

From Painting?

It was sort of fun, although about halfway through I contemplated calling it a failed experiment and never speaking of it again. I forced myself to soldier on, though, and in the end it's ... finished, at least. I might actually try my hand at the watercolors again here and there because much like the gesture drawings, I think it's good for me to stretch my boundaries.
