Well I just couldn't get Clyfford's watercolors out of my mind....so I woke up a couple weeks ago and made a trip to the local Hobby Lobby to update my art supplies and get some watercolor paper.

Let me just tell you that watercolor abstractions are harder than they look. Its pretty difficult not to end up with a big pile of muddiness in front of you; I've learned the trick is to make sure the paper is wet before and take your time. Let some colors dry before adding more. Playing with more than one medium is good too; it adds depth and makes it way more interesting. This one has some oil pastels mixed in.
