Watercolor Sketching in Fort Worth

Watercolor Color Chart, 2017
Black Friday. Stores? No way. I wanted to get outside, but I was sick, so that plan was out. Time for art instead. I painted a watercolor color chart, nothing that takes much thinking or energy, just something to keep my hands busy.

Winding Down with Watercolor
Unwinding before bed, I did a quick twenty minute watercolor sketch using leftover paint on a used 6" x 6" piece of paper. Nothing planned, just letting the color move where it wanted to go.
