#ohmywatercolour Florals…

Okay, talking about #ohmywatercolour.

I admit, this topic has been a bit disorganized. If you’re new to what #ohmywatercolour is, it’s like a personal challenge where I take a topic and then create a watercolour (almost) every day, or whenever I get time.

Check out my first #ohmywatercolour topic on makeup and beauty here. I post all my watercolours I make on Instagram, and then write about it before I change topic. If you want to follow my little watercolour challenge real time, then my instagram is a good place to keep up to date.

Anyways. On to what happened with this second topic. (second only?) I actually changed the topic midway because I got bored. First, I chose peonies as a topic, but, looking back- that was so not a good idea. 

Here’s how that went on:

First.

Second peony painting. After that..

Well. I couldn’t be bothered to draw any more peony doodles. I was just so bored- so I changed the topic to ‘florals’ in general.

This is how that went:#ohmywatercolour Florals...

Well. I was not too happy with how this topic turned out- because as limiting as drawing only peonies were, drawing floral doodles was just more daunting. Whenever I draw flowers, I usually take time and effort, and drawing a suitable doodle everyday in a matter of ten minutes was just not possible at the time. Also, I got so unmotivated that the last three entries I posted were all old stuff I’d made earlier (and the last two are more leafy and not really floral).

So. Lesson learnt in this: choose a topic wisely. Find one that’s interesting but not too vague.

To conclude, I just think that I’m going to really understand what it means to choose a topic, and then actually implement it. And I’m still happy with what I’ve learnt, because, hey, if you don’t succeed at first (or second), then, try, try, try again!

PS- the next topic is interesting! atleast, it will be for me to draw (hopefully)…drum roll, please..I’m going to be drawing outfit selfies! Yes! Not just plain outfits…but you know, those photos you see where you can see the top down of the outfit as a whole? Find me on instagram and check out my progress! Fingers crossed it’ll be fun.
