How To Paint Abstract Watercolors Easily: Fun Texture Techniques For Beginners, with Mixed Media embellishments

This is my favorite way to paint abstracts!!! This is a really easy method to create coordinating paintings without stressing! I also show a few fun techniques to add texture and mark making to your watercolor and mixed media work. I also cover how I use fixative to keep oil pastels from smearing.
I encourage you to create your own amazing piece of artwork or just gather your art supplies and just have fun (which is the most important part)!
