Abstract Textured Art - Intuitive Mixed Media Process - 2024 - 40

It's been a little while since I've created textured art using watercolor ground. And this painting almost didn't make it to YouTube because I was on the verge of giving up on it. But I didn't and in this week's video, I show you how I worked through my challenges to complete it. I hope this can inspire beginner painters and even more experienced ones to keep going when things get tricky.
