For the longest time, I have loved the way watercolor looked, but I never did anything with it until more recently. Shown to the left is a picture of two finished pictures done with watercolor markers with brush tips. The drawing on the left page is a simple optical illusion, while the drawing on the right was a zen doodle I did for fun. Another aspect I like about watercolor is the layering and mixing of colors. This is appealing to me because layering and mixing feel very approachable and easy to pick up, as well as being easy to set up. Being able to have a fine black sharpie or other similar to highlight important details is also a plus. Another aspect that I find appealing is the, for lack of a better word, is the softer look it gives to a piece. Softer colors, as opposed to more saturated colors, are something I’ve always gravitated towards, because I find them to be more soothing and relaxing, which makes the ease of achieving that with watercolor makes it all the more appealing.
