Watercolor Experiments | Create Effects with Simple Water Techniques

A brand new season of watercolour videos is starting this evening! This season’s theme is ‘experiment!’ and in this first video the experiments I do are all about using water in different ways. I try out spraying, dropping, lifting and getting textures with different concentrations of water and paint. You’ll see some of the experiments work better than others! I also share this abstract piece where I play with paint and water in a much more intuitive way. What form does your experimentation take? Can you think of other methods of working with paint and water? What would you add to my list of techniques?
