Painting intuitive watercolour landscapes through colour craving and shapes.
#watercolour #watercolourbackground #watercolourlandscape
In this video I paint some watercolour backgrounds using a variety of my watercolour brands. We paint abstract landscapes on paper and I show you some of my art journals and works in progress, including acrylic landscapes on paper and canvas.
We pick a card from my "Art Poetry" card deck (link to shop below), and also from my 2024 Fodder collage calendar. I share a page from the book, "How to Be More Tree", and it relates to the Hornbeam tree and the theme of authenticity.
I plan to revisit some of these abstract watercolour backgrounds with mark making supplies once the first layers are dry.
