Liquid Comfort :: Hot Soup

So I tried painting my Japanese folk tales in watercolor and failed horribly (I won’t be posting the results…I’d have to dig them out of the trash.) Through this frustrating experience, I’ve realized that I know NOTHING about painting! As much as I love digital, I REALLY want to learn the craft of painting on a real piece of paper, get my hands covered in paint, and end up with something I can hold (or that maybe people can hang on a wall) that I created on my own.

Since attempting to learn traditional art skills while doing complicated illustrations turned out to be a bust, I offer you the first of my new (much simpler) portrait series!
