i never really learned how to work with brushes the same way i learned how to draw. controlling a pen has always been easy. controlling a brush makes me feel like i can't breath. but i'm determined to start adding color to my drawings and, in the name of challenging myself to grow as an artist, watercolor is my first choice. before i start dipping my fingers directly into the paint (and i know i will try that at some point) i'm giving the brush a try.
