This watercolor painting captures a deeply personal moment as I lay on my bed, immersed in contemplation about significant aspects of my life. I applied the wet-on-dry technique as I illustrated this piece, employing masking fluid to delicately preserve the star’s brightness in the composition. I intended to evoke a sense of tranquility and intimacy within the artwork which I achieved through using a cool color palette. In creating this painting, my primary objective was to hone my watercolor skills while simultaneously expressing a personal facet of my identity.

To me, creativity is seen in how people communicate their unique thoughts and experiences through their own visual expression. Creativity is distinctive for every individual because of their specific personal perspectives of what they observe and experience, which is why perceiving others’ creativity brings an extraordinary sense of wonder.
