How to Create Abstract Art Using an Intuitive Painting Process | Watercolors and Mixed Media

Painting intuitively for me is all about play and experimentation. So, I take risks and try new things every chance I get. When I notice my process starting to get more rigid and controlled, I remind myself to loosen things up and have more fun. This is what keeps my creative process enjoyable and relaxing.

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!***)
