@Amanda Adams Great question, thanks for asking! So many ways. Here are just a few… An art practice teaches us to see mistakes as part of learning. If we quit when we make mistakes, we don’t get very far. Sometimes we don’t like a painting when we finish but if we put it away and look again we sometimes either have a better appreciation for it or know how to make it better. Watercolor requires some knowledge of mechanics or technique and also learning what we can’t or shouldn’t control. This helps us see that the happy accidents that come with letting the watercolor do what it does is like learning the difference between what we can and can’t (shouldn’t)control in life. Life happens for us, not to us! Decision making. Many women have some difficulty with decisions. Watercolor helps build confidence with making decisions about how to approach pieces, what colors to use and what style do you like. For someone who needs practice getting comfortable making decisions, this is both scary at first and confidence building. Trust the process. Most paintings go through what is known as “the messy middle”. This is sometimes true in life. Sometimes things get messier before they’re beautiful. Learning to not panic when this happens, trust the process and keep working is another lesson that reflects life. I could go on but I hope that this gives you an idea! 🎨🥳
