I work intuitively and have no idea how to teach that. This s a side project for me and as it is takes more time than I would like it to so I'm afraid it is what it is. You can find a list of some of the paint I use in the "show more" section above.

Another beautiful piece. Do you plan ahead what you are going to paint or does it just come to you as you are painting? I think you are using fluid acrylic paint-maybe that's why I can't seem to blend with the catalyst. I'll keep trying

Fluid acrylic paint has a thinner viscosity than some others. I still prefer to add water for a wash look.

The length of the videos sometimes depends on whether I have remembered to turn on the camera. I never professed to be a ace videographer. That is Viva paper towel I'm using.
