Day 13: picking a pumpkin {31 days of watercolor}

we had so much fun at the pumpkin patch on friday that today i wanted to attempt to capture that precious moment of picking out a pumpkin!

i've said it before and i'll probably keep on sayin it until day 31...

i just LOVE how loosely i can work in watercolor.

it really doesn't have to be picture perfect to convey the essence of a scene or object or color.

it just flows freely. 

i like how it makes me not strive for perfection... 

because sometimes that's what i need... to just let things be how they are

to let go of the control for a while

anyway, perfect capturing is what a camera is for right?

watercolor lends itself to atmosphere and emotion. 

and i am growing to love it!!

have you tried it yet??

you should!!
