Easy Abstract Watercolor Painting Tutorial For Beginners: How To Paint A Series Stress Free
I hope you enjoy this intuitive watercolor play! Watercolor paint does amazing things on paper 😁. I want to share the freedom of letting go and just letting your imagination take over your work! Creating this way is great art therapy, and truly helps minimize the stress of creating something "perfect". I encourage you to just gather your art supplies and just have fun (which is the most important part)!

    This was really fun! I hope you enjoy. Remember to enjoy the process!!! I look forward to seeing you in the new Facebook group! You can show your appreciation by sharing and liking the video, using my links when you need to shop, and clicking the "Thanks" button, if you want to send a one time tip!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Also, there is 6 minutes of quiet in the middle where I speed it up...I didn't add any music...but audio comes back afterwards!

    I love that color combination. Watercolor is such an entertaining medium. Watching it dance on the paper & do its thing is just so much fun. I still love my acrylics but playing with watercolor just makes me so happy. I used watercolor for the first time when in my art class in college years ago & immediately fell in love with it. I just found your channel & love watching your creativity. Thank you. 🎨🖌️

    Oh goodness, I bet it's much better than you give yourself credit for! Continue to let yourself play. You'll begin to develop an eye for things you really like. Then just keep those parts and cut off or hide the rest 😉. Thank you! If you are in the FB group, I can help you 😊

    Well thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it. I guess there is always the option to mute if you need to as well, but I will keep this in mind 😊. Happy painting!
