Confidence gained again

To become an expert in a specific medium, the artist needs to engage in it consistently. The medium should become part of the artist's essence for him to control and use its full potential and not the other way around, that is, the medium controlling the artist.
I have not touched my watercolor set for three(3) straight years. Two years before that, I was already utilizing programs for the creation of images. I didn't notice I was parting from one of my expertise, the watercolor medium. Grade school provided the exposure and training for it...which proved to be a lifetime engagement. Oil paints came later when I was in high school and it became an alternate medium in my art pieces depending on the type of subject at hand.
My three-year watercolor rest was awaken when a principal asked me to use the said medium. Admittedly, I was shaken. The pros and cons between the PC programs and the manual application sat in. But, not for long. The familiar smell greeted me when I opened my watercolor set. Dazzling colors flashed before my eyes. I smiled. Confidence was present. My expertise of this medium was just in slumber:)
