Ah texture! It absolutely speaks to my creative soul and I cannot resist its invitation. In this week's video, I'm working with watercolor ground again, to create a textured abstract using earthy colors. Playing and experimenting like this helps to keep things fresh and interesting in my studio. I love doing it so much that I have just ordered myself some more watercolor ground.

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!***)
