Working with New Mediums: Watercolors

Trying new mediums and methods stretches an artist with a widened perspective. This month, I started working with watercolors and encaustics. While I still have a ways to go before feeling comfortable with either, I do enjoy the new tools added to my mixed media bag. Below are a sampling of different pieces.
