My water-colour painting journey - how it all started..

It all started.. probably sometime in 2017 or 2018 (not sure when exactly). My very first water-colour painting as an adult was not really out of my own interest, it was actually me just being helpful try to find a hobby for my husband. He once said learn how to paint is one of his retirement plan. I thought of learning more about it before I actually recommend it to him but I ended up liking it so much, I pick it up as my own hobby. Although my husband did not learn but he is very supportive of me learning and enjoying water-colour painting so I’m very happy.

I watched a lot of YouTube videos and after I learned how it can be so ‘free’ in crafting or how it is unpredictable but yet beautiful - if only I knew… this is definitely not the easiest medium - I decided to try.

Daler Rowney Aquafine 12 half-pan water-colour paints

Now I have a couple set of water-colour paints from different brands. - I will talk about my main water-colour brand next time - but my very first water-colour was a 12 half-pan of travel set from Daler Rowney which is a great UK brand.

Though there’s been a lot of ups and downs in terms of learning and keep motivating myself, I am going to continue learn and keep practicing and practicing. And if you just started, I hope this place gives you some comforts and know you’re not alone!

Hope I can continue post with many more interesting stuffs here and also sharing my humble paintings.

Cheers,

Jo
