Video – Watercolor 101 – Episode 3 – Color Palette Challenge Play, Stencils, & Mark Making

Video – https://youtu.be/wsmZ3oCXZVo

Hello friends,

Welcome to Episode 3 of Watercolor 101. In today’s video, we are just going to PLAY! I have been watching Denise Love on YouTube for a few months and finally found the courage to give her techniques a try. I love her style, her freedom to create, her color pallet challenges, and her laugh! Man, I love her laugh. I am inspired every time I watch. I want to play freely with watercolor and not be so serious. I have never been a mark maker or a doodler, really. At least nothing I would let the world see. I was ambivalent to do this video, but I am so glad that I did.

So, come and play with me. Use what you have. Try to follow the process through without judgement.

I hope you enjoy!

I used a few stencils, use what you have.
