Watercolor Time Lapsed video

Painting has always been cathartic for me. It eases the stress away, that’s what’s so great about watercolors. It’s not expensive. All you need is paper, a brush and a cup of water.

No need to fear being judged. Watercolor is very forgiving. If you “mess up” you can flood the area with water and happily dab up the paint.

How awesome is that?!

My father is a master while I dabble and I’m okay with that. I used to sit in on his classes and workshops and play while he taught. He has a fine artist’s approach and I have an illustrator’s approach.

It’s all good.

I don’t have a photo realistic take on watercolor painting. My take is more whimsical and not entirely real but I have loads of fun painting. 

Check out my time lapsed video on painting whimsical blue flowers. Maybe it’ll help get you started. Turn on your favorite music, have a mini dance party and get started.

I’ve included a link to a freebie Mother’s Day printable card as part of our Freebie Library. So be sure to subscribe for access.

Happy creating!
