As much as I typically prefer to paint without a plan, sometimes I want to practice certain techniques and having at least an idea of a plan can help kick things off. In this video, I practice color blending using just three colors watercolors and then I move to on to creating simple line work before adding a little bit of shimmer as a final touch to my painting. The process is slow, mindful and really enjoyable. I hope you will enjoy it too!

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 only to the Amazon links I have included as I am an Amazon Associate. ) 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!***)
