Whenever I have a plan, I don't like it in the end. So, I just go with the flow most of the time. Thanks for these kind words :).

[@annhovland8407]

I'm a watercolorist, but I've really wanted to delve into mixed media. Any suggestions on youtube artists who do tutorials regarding same so I can learn more about the media used? This is a fantastic painting...just love the play. Have you been doing this a long time?

[@artfulhaven]

I bet you'll find many artists and teachers if you search for mixed media. One of the best our there is Karen Campbell. Thanks for the compliment :). Yes, I've been doing mixed media for years. Just wish I had more time for it :D

[@1lisa1968]

What paper did you use please? Lovely video. Calming music too. Such a lovely experience to watch you work.

[@artfulhaven]

Glad you liked it 😊. The paper is called mixed media paper and it's pretty thick. It's a Marabu art journal.

[@cherylb9956]

I LOVE the stencil, is there a name of it?

[@artfulhaven]

Heeey :). I just looked for it. It's by Marianne Design at mariannedesign.nl. Yes, it's great, with a lovely design and sturdy enough to use with other tools.

[@artfulhaven]

I put a new link in the description where you can get Marianne stencils on Amazon :)

End is horrible. Sorry
