Painting intuitively for me is all about play and experimentation. For this reason, I like to take creative risks. In this week's video, I'm trying something completely new using some watercolor ground. I want to create texture, real texture and I think this is the way to go. Who knows what will happen, but at the very least, I know I'm going to learn something new.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (***I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using these links, I will get a small commission. You won't pay extra for doing this and you will help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
