Mark Making and Intuitive Watercolor Painting - Paint from the Heart and Create Easy Art

Looking for a way to unwind and de-stress? Painting in this way helps me, and I know it can help you too! In this tutorial we'll explore the art of intuitive watercolor painting. We'll let go of planning and let our creativity flow freely. Using a small selection of harmonizing colors and repeating patterns, we'll create a beautiful and unique piece of art while enjoying a moment of peace and calm. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, this tutorial is designed to help you find relaxation through the simple act of painting.

About my brushes
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
