I found my self in many of your thoughts when I paint! I do mostly watercolor but I don’t like copying landscapes . My aim now is to invent them or to do them by memory. The results aren’t often satisfactory and I throw into the bin a lot of paper! Anyway…you’re right! This is not wasted time! ( I’m Italian, my English is not so good…)

I’m glad you also feel this way, when I have a good patch of art making i am aware i probably got there through going through the bad patches !

Sonia, do you teach a gouache basics class online? If you ever did, I'd be so eager to learn from you. Love your work!

As artists we're not really helped by opinionated feedback on "where we should've stopped" or "what artwork we shouldn't have painted over," right? But I'm also a viewer of YouTube art videos, and I absolutely know how easy it is to want to butt in with Very Important Opinions. LOL.

Love your art Sonia, keep creating. 💕
