Hello there! Welcome to my art blog!
As someone who can be a bit obsessive, before I wrote this blog, I did what any modern human does these days and Googled, “how to write an artist’s first blog.”
Apparently, I’m supposed to get a domain name, brainstorm a at least a dozen blog subjects first, have my first 5 blogs already planned out, decide how often I will write, and goddammit, be consistent with writing or I’m going to lose readership! And don’t be lame; don’t bore people for god’s sake – you all want to know who I am. You want to understand how I think and see my discoveries occurring. And by god, I must have a purpose for my blog!
Geez. Chill already, Interwebs.
I decided to start a blog for a few reasons: 1) to help me feel more like a “real” artist by helping ground me in more consistency, 2) to help me understand better why I’m doing the work I’m doing, and 3) to help me see progress over time. I expect my reasons to blog will change over time.
And maybe, just maybe you’ll find my development as a watercolor painter interesting as it unfolds for both you and me. Something might resonate with you as my skills and styles progress and shift. And perhaps I can learn something from you as I share my successes and not-so-successes in this odd, self-esteem crushing, fulfilling, joyous, and frustrating pursuit we call art.
Thank you for joining me.
Good for you for starting this blog! I’m looking forward to reading more about your journey!
