It's alright letting yourself go as long as you can get yourself back.

I've been working on my watercolor painting skill for the past two days. Okay, I knew that watercolor was hard and arbitrary, but I never imagined it to be so vexing and time-consuming. I think my problem with it is the lack of control I have to embrace to work it. With acrylic, I favor a brush with very short bristles to have the greatest control. With watercolor, I had to use a flat brush to move the water gracefully in exchange for control. I just find it hard to let go sometimes. So, for two days, this is what I have to show for it.

I used the pictures I took of Mlle. Johnston at her Nutcracker recital this past Christmas as reference.
