My Bio
I am a self taught traditional artist. I started with graphite drawings, then went on to charcoal drawings. I experimented briefly with watercolor, and I now work primarily with oil paint.

I started taking art seriously in high school, involving myself in various art projects. After high school, I took an art course at a local college. I have taught myself most of what I do. With the help of YouTube tutorial videos. I like watching other artists' techniques. One of the things I like about art, is that you can do anything you want. When I create art, I have a no rule policy. I do what I want, incorporating whatever I feel like.

I decided to start with a watercolor. I'm going to talk about what I enjoyed about this project, and where I ran into trouble. Experimenting with Different Techniques What I enjoyed the most about using watercolor, was the ability to let the paint work for me. Creating different patterns, and allowing the watercolor to spread out over the paper was fun. I loved how easy it was to set color in the places I wanted, and was able to prevent color from
