Denise this was great timing with this video, an artist friend just gifted me the Abstract watercolour bok and a set of the new granulating Kuretake colours,and I realy love the effects they create,I discovered they also work great when used with metallic watercolours added to tem when they are still wet on the paper. Glad you love the Archer and Olive acryligraph pens,these are a staple for me and are great for mixed media. I also discovered the Granulating colours also work well with the graphite Kuretake colours as well again when these are both wet,but I wil experiment more with the Graulating colours mixed with metallics as it creates great effects.(matt)P.s A book you might love and be inspired by is "Watercolour Textures For Artists" by Ana Victoria Calderon,definitly worth looking into.

I bought the book Creative Abstract Watercolor yesterday. But it won’t be here for a week so I also ordered the Kindle version. Just couldn’t wait. It is a fantastic book!!! I’m so glad you showed it in your fantastic art haul. Also, many thanks for doing a demo on the edge rulers. I have the metal one and I think it hates me. Even when I tear off a full inch it is so difficult for me. I have tried wetting the paper, tearing from the back of the paper, etc. Think I should just get the big acrylic one and find a new home for my metal ones. Thank you for your lively videos! I always look forward to each of them and learn something new every time. Hugs!

The one you did on the board was more vivid but you did go back in and add paint right from the pans. Looking forward to seeing if you can make them shine though!

There isn’t any other costs. You become a member and you have access to any classes on their site. They do offer additional programs with some teachers for 1 on 1 sessions if you are interested - and those do have a fee. I don’t offer any of those myself. All of my classes would be included in that regular membership. 😊

I have to stop watching your art hauls. You keepi showing us all this good stuff and costing me MONEY!!! I love that Creative Abstract Watercolor book and the Kuretake granulating watercolours! ARGH. By the way, "Rive Gauche" is the artsy area south of the river Seine in Paris, pronouced "REEVE GOH-sh." This isn't gouache paint - it's an oil paint. I don't think you paint in oils, do you? I just recently started trying gouache, and I really like what it can do too. And I borrowed Anne Blockley's watercolour books from the library and she mentioned that she uses white gouache with her watercolours, so I'm going to try that. Mostly I paint in acrylics and oil, but watching you I have started to collect watercolour paints and experiment (more money, Denise! All because of you! LOL!) and really love the whimsical nature and fluidity of watercolours!
