BEAT ARTIST BLOCK !! Spontaneous Watercolour Painting

In this week's video, I demonstrate a nice exercise to use if you're suffering from artist block.
By dropping wet paint onto wet paper and allowing it to move around, you can create some interesting effects. I then use this as a background for an atmospheric woodland painting.

You are a fantastic artist. I am 74 , been paiting since '94.'... I have finally found someone to follow because I love the tranquil , and peaceful images you do. Hope you dont mind, my trying some of them. Have a great New Year.

Thank you... I love and need ideas like this. My block is solid at times. Really nice result.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

You’re welcome! Glad you like it

[@alanrooney3449]

Great result Chris. Was the use of a paper towel rather than a sponge deliberate or what was at hand?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Alan. It was at hand, as this was an improvised, spontaneous type painting, I just went with the flow

Fantastic work....I need the courage to try this....

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Ralph. Just go for it. You could try it on the back of an old painting, there’s nothing to lose !!

[@lindah1591]

I really like it before you added the dark foreground. It was dreamy before.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@lindah1591 Yes, you’re probably right. Although, it was an exercise, so not really looking for “results” so to speak.

[@lindah1591]

@@ChrisStephenArt thanks for the feedback.
