Every artist makes mistakes—but what if they weren't mistakes at all?
In this video, I'm experimenting with the Pigment Transfer technique, originally developed by Louise Jannetta, and along the way I end up with a few unexpected surprises. Instead of trying to hide or fix them, I lean into them... and they become some of my favorite parts of the finished piece.
I hope this tutorial reminds you that creativity isn't about getting everything right the first time—it's about trusting yourself to solve problems, adapt, and discover opportunities you never planned.
Now go mix up some paints and BE FEARLESS!
Special thanks to artist Louise Jannetta for developing the Pigment Transfer technique that inspired this experiment. If you're not already familiar with her work, I encourage you to check it out here:
