Do Something Different: Watercolor Works

When was the last time you did something different? For the past few weeks I’ve been up to my eyeballs writing CSS & HTML code for a website project that I’m quite excited about, but I made some time to watercolor the other day! After writing things like this for several hours: /*.rmdheader {font-family: ‘Spinnaker’, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 45px; letter-spacing: 1.5px; color: #C2C7C2; text-align: center; padding-top: 10px;} .rmdheader2 { font-family: ‘Spinnaker’, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; letter-spacing: 1.5px; color: #1196D9; text-align: center; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 8px; }*/ the 20 minute watercolor-change-of-pace from coding refreshed me enough to dive back into website work with renewed vigor. Vibrant serenity is the phrase that came to mind while painting. The next time you find yourself doing a whole lot of one thing, take a little break and do something completely different. You’ll be rejuvenated, and thankful you did. [On a side note...do you know who crafts handmade paper that's amazing to watercolor on? Whitney Korstange of Maple Street Paper Company in Fremont!]
