Because if you haven’t started a daily painting and/or sketching habit yet, I think you’d really love it and it’s really not as hard as you might think. I also wanted to take a moment to share a bit of what I’ve learned about watercolor sketching and forming a daily art habit. I just want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who have encouraged me and cheered me on along the way. I’m happy to say that today, I’ve reached quite a milestone on this journey of 1,000 consecutive days of watercolor sketching (including an accompanying story each day!) Yes, this post is the 1,000th day of daily doodlewashing (my coined name for watercolor sketching) as well as storytelling (or rambles such as they are)! Like, insanely excited and I wanted to share my newfound love of watercolor sketching with literally everyone I met and hopefully, one day, the entire world! I was just incredibly excited about discovering watercolor sketching. After starting Doodlewash® back in July 2015, I really wasn’t sure where it would take me.
