Painting abstract watercolour backgrounds.

Another unedited art inspiration video that is random and hopefully inspiring to you. I love painting abstract watercolour backgrounds and adding words. I call these "Art Poetry" style paintings, and I show you how I paint these and also some tips and tricks with regards to sealing and framing watercolour paintings. I show my recent Art Poetry collection, including watercolour on 4" sq mini canvas.

I pick a card from my "Art Poetry" for insights and inspiration art deck and we chat about all things art and creating.
