Textured Mixed Media Abstract Art | 2024 - 48

I love texture A LOT! And so I'm always trying to find new ways I can create it in my watercolor and other mixed media paintings. This week, I'm using a product I use a lot in my acrylic work: crackle paste. I'm not sure how this is going to go, but the way I look at it is I will never know unless I give it a try. I hope this will inspire you to experiment as well - there is no better way to learn. Remember to keep things simple and you're sure to have a fun time!
