I used to take art classes when I was younger. Real art classes with oil paints, water colors, pastels, charcoal etc. I really enjoyed the process and found that I can copy really well but have a difficult time coming up with original art. shrug* Nonetheless, I gave up art after high school and lost interest (as I did with piano and all the other things my mom had signed me up for) but recently after seeing an an adorable water color painting of a cupcake at Pottery Barn Kids, I was *inspired* to dabble my hands in watercolor again!
Which prompted a trip to AC Moore with Pauline Bakes* and bought myself two brushes, and a set of watercolor tubes. I bought the cheapest set I could find since who knows when I might lose interest in this hobby too :P
Using my new set, I took my love of pastries (looking at them, not eating them) and tried out painting some macarons. I find that my macarons come out perfectly when I'm painting them. Baking it is another story. I also threw in my first attempt at watercoloring with my new set of the cupcake. :T scrumptious!
