For years I thought that if I could just try a bit harder my watercolors would improve, but it never happened. Then I discovered the secret of the Law of Reversed Effort or “Caring Less” and everything changed. So let’s paint this easy, fun landscape together without a care in the world, and see what happens!

➡️ *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
