When the weather is February gray, and you feel like you need a splash of color, try cutting up small pieces of watercolor paper and playing with watercolors, making brush strokes that feel natural to your hand.
I began this piece by splashing in watercolors. After that layer was dry, I added India ink touches to pop the contrast up.
These are great to prop in a place you will see them, so you can benefit from their bright colors. I dropped this one into a letter to my best friend.
Happy art-making!
