How to Create Abstract Art Using an Intuitive Painting Process | Watercolors and Mixed Media

This painting was created with the idea that sometimes (actually a lot of the time, if not all the time) it's up to us to find the good in situations. There is so much to be thankful for in life and this process is a celebration of this and so I've decided to call it My Ode to Joy. I switched it up to be bright, cheerful and filled with movement. I hope it can help you find reasons to celebrate your life too. #intuitive_watercolor_painting #mixed_media #abstract_watercolor Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (***I now have the ability to monetize my site.
