I live in Costa Rica, so I do not have access to the brands of paint that I see most 'bloomers' using. I think it's time to see what works with what I have access to! I've challenged my Patreons to do either a Bloom or a Bloom Swipe for May, but this is just as much of a challenge for me as it is for them - we're all going to learn together!
Want to know the secret to learning to make art? Mix up some paints and play! Give yourself the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. You'll surprise yourself - I guarantee it. And you'll have lots of fun!
Now grab yourself some paints and BE FEARLESS!
If you'd like to support my channel and collaborate with the BEST and most supportive group of artists, join Nate's Art Lab on Patreon! We do monthly challenges, behind the scenes experiments, share our beautiful art, new and crazy ideas for techniques, and trouble shoot problems together!

You can now purchase my art online! Visit galeria1084.com to browse through my available pieces, and art from more than 30 other artists who also live in Costa Rica! Acrylic, oil and mixed media fine art; gold and silver jewelry; glass art; ceramics; sculpture; indigenous art; basketry and lots more!
I 'rescue' any paint that gets spun or tilted off by scraping it off of the table, straining it and saving it to use as a base coat for future pours. Very little waste!
