Today, I’m working on a geologic abstract painting using watercolors and mixed media. I’ll be working with some of my favorite neutrals colors and finishing off the piece with some kintsugi inspired line work using bronze. Beginners are always welcomed and there's no better place to start than here because you don't need to know it all before you get going. (Wink, wink!) So, grab your watercolors and your salt and let’s experiment together!

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 some of these links I will get a small commission. ( This applies to the Amazon links in this description and RU-vid Shopping Affiliate links included in my video. ) Any purchases made by using these links 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!***)
