I'm on a tiny painting mission at the moment, and today I've been painting mini abstracts. There's nothing intimidating here. We start with a random watercolor background and then, with a selection of favorite pens and paints to hand, we continue by adding dabs, dashes and lines of ink or paint. And just like that we have the most effective antidote to overthinking I've ever found!

➡️ *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. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
