If when you open your sketchbook and face an empty page you give up in despair for want of inspiration, this watercolor painting video is for you! The solution If you’re struggling to get started is found in one word - DOODLES! The discovery of all kinds of doodles really was a breakthrough moment for me which unlocked my creativity and today, I’m going to share my jailbreaking process with you! We’re painting another page in our easy hand-made Daily Doodle Book which we made last week PLUS we’ll uncover the fascinating secret of how the Japanese learn — even how they learn to paint! So let’s get started!

➡️ *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
