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

I loved this painting so much, I wanted it to the first class I offered on my website. And then, life asked me to share it here with you instead. There was quite a bit of footage I needed to edit in order to shorten it and I did my best to show you as much as possible of what I considered to be essential parts of my process. I love creating with texture SO much!! And it's fun that I get to share my passion for watercolor and texture here, with you all. I hope you enjoy this process as much as I did.

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!***)

I'm still learning about the concept of Ubuntu. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it seems to hold some wisdom and what I do know about it speaks of love. Here are a few references on Ubuntu:

   • Who we are: Human uniqueness and the ...  

   • The Story Of Ubuntu  

   • I Am You   A book about Ubuntu   by R...   (This one is cute and made especially for younger people, but I loved it just the same.)
