I wanted something I could do for myself that would help me to focus on something besides the problems in life. So I decided I wanted to learn to paint with watercolors. Then I realized I needed to learn to sketch so that I could have something to watercolor. Now as I have been painting with watercolors for about 9 months, I decided to get more serious and learn to get better at both. I am taking an online course #sketchingnowfoundations and buildings and really realizing how much more I want to learn. With those courses I needed to be on Flickr and that's why I am here.
