A Few Watercolour Background Ideas

The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/louisedemasi09201 . In this video I share a few different techniques and ideas I’ve been using to paint watercolour backgrounds.

This video was sponsored by Skillshare.

Errors: At the 6.39 minute mark I say, "I keep that paint away from the paint edge." I should have said, "I keep that paint away from the water's edge." I also say just after, "When I get closer to the paint edge I stop painting." Sorry I should have said, "When I get closer to the water's edge I stop painting." Sorry it was a long week! 😳
