How to Paint a Whimsical Abstract Landscape in Mixed Media | Intuitive and Mindful Painting Process

Experimentation and play are key to developing our skills and style as artists. So, I believe it's important for us to do this a lot. I really can't think of a better way for budding artists to grow than to use creative play as a tool for development. For this little painting project, I kept the whole process very simple so I could stay mindfully in the moment, practice super simple watercolor and mixed media skills and, most importantly, I kept it simple to make the process more fun.

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!***)
