It's funny, just the other day I got a hair up my butt an wanted to try water colors. I didn't, but I wanted to, and then here you are inspiring me again.
It's all about osmosis. Whether it's moisture or pigment, stuff moves from high concentration to low concentration. Apply wet paint to a dry sheet of watercolor paper and you get a hard crisp edge. Apply wet paint to damp or wet paper and you get a soft or even fuzzy edge. Apply wet paint or water next to damp paint and the wet will invade the merely damp.
That sounds so satisfying. The thing that appeals to me about it, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you can use one color and get multiple shades out of it, which is much more in line with what I'm good at; drawing/sketching/shading/highlighting, and more importantly, steers clear of what I'm horrible at; mixing colors. I can't paint worth a shit when it comes to getting the colors right. I have the strokes down, but the damn colors.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
