This unedited video has a focus of abstract watercolour and acrylic painting and intuitive play as the inspiration unfolds. This is the process and art style that I have come to love as it is very intuitive, explorative, playful and experimental. I embrace happy accidents and paint over areas that I don't enjoy and highlight and encourage marks/painting that I love.
I focus mostly on painting over marks on 138lb paper from my coil Canson mixed media art journal. I have a prefilled "stay wet" palette of acrylic paints , in a mix of brands and colours. I start the art on paper by painting over already dried markmaking that was primarily black acrylic paint. I do demos of how to start the process of cleaning my brush by using another piece of watercolour paper on the side.
I also show a bright and colourful page of marks from where I was testing a new set of 24 Koi watercolour brush pens.
Supplies I used:
Canson XL mixed media paper, 9x12" (coil book).
Acrylic paints in a variety of colours and brands.
