This week, I've been painting some small experimental watercolours using the texture effects I explored the the last few week's videos to create large washes of watercolour, then painting really detailed stripes and areas of geometric shapes inspired by mid century art - particularly tiles. In this video, I'm sharing the process of painting one of these small works, before applying copper leaf and mounting to a wooden panel.
