Wonderful! I enjoy having fun, painting during the holidays that can be so busy, this is a perfect little practice that you can experiment, play and maybe even find some fun new things you love~ Happy discovering and YOU are an artist
im so glad it possibly opened you to just playing, and letting your imagination take the reins :-) It can be really freeing and always ends up inspiring something new in me!
So cute and fun. Totally looking for no stress no real pressure ideas. Been just doing practice strokes and swatching all my paint into one book. Feels good to be painting but not having to create anything. Just need the evening wind down time. This might fit in with my current headspace. Thank you
It is a great way to get back to just playing with watercolors and having fun! When I feel a bit stressed, or pressure to paint something, this always works for me.. play, experiment discover new things unexpectedly. Perfect for the holidays to just enjoy~ Have fun most of all Linda xo

Oh gosh Debbie, just what I needed today..this could help me loosen up. I did something similar in a class many years ago but used WC to negavtive paint the shapes..its so fun to do..Thank You, Thank You❤
It’s so freeing isn’t it! I find it helps to let go of any perfection and just play with the color and shapes, pens, glitter, metallics, get crazy gf! :-) This has always been a good creative exercise when I just want to relax, and dont feel like painting a masterpiece. (Although look how beautiful when we are just enjoying, and I know your will be just as fabulous!)
I had so much fun and have always liked this technique, especially when I just want to paint, and dont want to worry about it being perfect. I always discover something fun too. Happy painting friend.

It is a very fun technique that will get your creative juices flowing! Im glad I Could help, I remember doing this way way way back in college days, and even HighSchool, although now there's a fancy name for it! lol. Good techniques always make a comeback Have fun with it. No right or wrong :-)
So glad you enjoyed it, it really is a fun way to play with watercolors and just play, no expectations, assumptions, just letting it flow~ Enjoy friend.
I remember this technique from decades ago in High School and college, of course we didnt have fancy names for the technique. Some things just stick around, I have always loved this type of painting when I just want to paint and have some fun. I am so glad you enjoy it too! Pen and ink are always a fun addition too. Happy painting friend !
It is a lot of fun to play with the colors so interesting becvause I remember this technique in High School decades ago, of course now it has this fancy name "reverse coloring"! Things always come and go I suppose. Have fun with it!
Love this. When we got to the ink & pen part it made me think of Harriet deWintons book. You'd love it. I didn't glitter mine yet but I like it. This was very freeing. TY
Oh I will have to take a look, I wouldnt doubt if I have it! lol. I have SO many from over the years~ I have repurchased books, then have to give them away because I already have it! I hope you give it a try, so much fun, and just relaxing and freeing xo
Thank you! I hope you give it a try, too, and most of all enjoy, let the creativity flow, throw that color around, and invite your imgaination to come out and play~ Happy painting friend.
Hi Debbie 😃 You know that i love that kind of process sometimes I need to create without thinking too much 😊 I was finishing my last one with posca and ohuhu ❤ So much fun and just relax Big hugs teacher And Big thanks for the Pen glue...i just purchased to put the "paillettes"🥰
Je suis tellement content que vous essayiez cela, c'est un très bon exercice, surtout lorsque vous êtes occupé et que vous ne voulez pas trop réfléchir, ou vous inquiéter de quelque chose, ou même ne savez pas quoi peindre. Cela stimule vraiment l'imagination. Je suis content que vous ayez apprécié. Ce stylo à colle est très amusant, n'est-ce pas. Je l'avais oublié depuis toujours ! Joyeux ami qui peint, xo
Thank you! 😊 These type of exercises are always good for me when I get too stuck in my head, or serious, even when I want to paint and just dont know what to paint :-) I hoep you give it a try, and realy go crazy with all the doodles, glitters, and fun :-)
It is always fun to try new things, just like the little extras I added.. so many fun things that couldb e done here. This type of exercise always gets me out of my "stuckness" :-)
Hehe, I think sometimes I really want to paint, play and I am not wanting to paint anything in particular, this keeps me creating :-) Happy playing friend.
EDIT: I saw a purple OWL in the top right corner before you doodled over it. TIMESTAMP 13:00 (The word “owl” didn’t make it in my sentence the first time.) This is a great way to loosen up! I love watercolors, but usually don’t get results I hope for.
Good eye, I think that is whats sfun, You dont get what you think. :-) I know what you mean though, I will dom ore with this style, because I think its so helpful for us to just play, and see what comes, Have fun with it! Happy holidays friend.
I know what you mean, sometimes it’s a challenge. I’ll have to try and do a video on that, a lot of people have asked! Ill create a short, what I have found is not too much water or it puddles and doesnt do a whole lot, just shiny damp, and sprinkle the salt on, not too much. I like the subtle look I get with table salt. The larger the sale granules the bigger the affects~ Ill create a short fo ryou friend. Its an awfully fun way to play!
Hi Leticia! I did a few months ago, and like it! I love all the Paul Rubens palettes :-) And use them all, we can never have too many right? lol I Hope you give this a try, so much fun, just playing~
Hi Laura, isnt it fun? I use ist almost everytime now. Swatch Circle Stamp amzn.to/3TcXIz5 Acrylic block amzn.to/3Td63Tu Ranger black ink pad amzn.to/3z7qBWq I got mine on Amazon
Oh You are right! I LOVE we each see different things, that is the creative mind and imagination at work~ Creating is what keeps us young, and our mind flowing xo
Oh fun, I love what all of you see, that is each of our minds at play! I hope you give this a try, its so good for us, to just have fun, create, I love to give my mind opportunities to find shapes, colors, animals, plants, in my artwork. Its like a little child playing! I DO believe CREATIVITY is LONGEVITY. Play lots, its my secret weapon to happiness!

Wow, lol. One of the reasons I LOVE abstracts, everyone can see their own things~
Am I the only one that saw the dolphins down the bottom😊

The blue one looks like a shark
Oh You are right! I LOVE we each see different things, that is the creative mind and imagination at work~ Creating is what keeps us young, and our mind flowing xo
