My current art ideas and artist inspiration along with watercolour painting and mark making. We paint botanicals and the start of little colourful houses.
In this video I discuss my current art and artist inspiration. I introduce a book titled "Striped Pears and Polka Dots", by Kirsten Sevig, and we do a little painting with watercolour on paper. I add mark making to my botanical watercolours with ink and paint pen. I paint whimsical watercolour houses, or fairy houses as they seem to be developing. I read a page from my book titled "How to Be More Tree", and also do a flip through of one of my favourite artists @BettyFranksArt book titled "Fields of Flowers". We pull a card from my "Art Poetry for Insights and Inspiration " oracle deck and I chat about random art insights that come to me as I record this unedited video.
