Materials
Watercolour paint by Paul Rubens of LightWish - High intensity pigment pallet, and Anilinky high pigment pallet
Brushes
Assorted, flat, round and very fine. I use a variety of different makes but they are all very soft. I also use brushes for nail painting as they are very fine.
Paper
For watercolour you need a strong paper (300gsm) or you can use wallpaper lining paper which works really well
Pens
Fineliner marker by Daler Rowney and Fudenosuka
Acrylic pens by Aen Art, Posca and Lyuvie
Fountain pens by Jinhao, Lumy and Parker
Ink by Diamine

Hi Cate I just love how you play and experiment! Ànd that it's ok to not be perfect. Sometimes you get my OCD all riled up but luckily I can just go wirh the process anyway😂 I love your cheerful personality and all your encouraging words. Thanks so much. I love your channel and FB group too. WEATHER: Very hot here in the Phoenix area. Around 112 degrees and the humidity will hit us usually the first week of July😢💥❤

I love how the first layer merged out into the side colors like markings, also the second coat having slight glaze look to it. Yes I’m having a spot of tea as my English sister in law would say. The weather here in Central Wisconsin, USA 85 degrees, sunny with an occasional breeze. We had coffee ☕️ on our back deck with a friend in the morning with the birds singing. Your last page is lovely. Thank you for all you do for us. 😻

[@CateField]

What a lovely comment 🥰 Thank you 🙏 coffee with friends on the back deck sounds wonderful ☀️

Watching this video from Kent and its windy/rainy Saturday morning, I am a total newbie to painting and finding it really easy to get to overwhelm with all the choices I want to dip into. I think this will be perfect to get me going. Thank you

[@CateField]

You are very welcome, and I'm so glad you're here! You're right, it's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed... just take it one little step at a time :) (I went to school in Kent!) :)

[@amivbg]

Thank you for another great video. I could listen to you all day long😊😊😊. We have varied weather here in Sweden. From summer to brisk spring. You never know what to expect😊

[@CateField]

Thank you so much .. unexpected weather adds to the joy I think! ☀️☔️🥰

This is the first tutorial I’ve seen demonstrating the steps to develop a piece! I had no idea that’s the way you’re suppose to work towards a finished piece. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@CateField]

Brenda, you are very welcome. Thank you 🙏

[@avigail5356]

Thank you so much for sharing, I blame you for making me finally order the anilinky’s that I’ve wanted for so long… now I can’t wait to get them. It is amazing to see such a page full of a circle and just two lines, and the wonderful color combinations, I will definitely try that! ❤️🙏

[@CateField]

Yay! You will LOVE playing with them. Thank you so much for your comment :)

[@babawawa1953]

Loving the yellows, orange, green & blue. That green is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

[@CateField]

Thanks so much 😊 It's a beautiful colour, isn't it?

[@janiepetherbridge5451]

Looks like great fun. Thanks Cate. I am definitely going to try this technique.

[@CateField]

Hope you enjoy it! Thank you 🙏

[@jojojo8835]

I’m so glad to hear someone else recommending wallpaper/lining paper for wet media! I find even the cheap stuff performs better than student watercolour paper for loose wet-in-wet, acrylics etc.❤ I also use it for oil pastels as I like to work big and storing enormous sketchbooks is a pain.

[@CateField]

Oh yes... and what a great idea to use it for big experiments.. thank you for commenting :)

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Good morning Cate! You brighten everyday that I am blessed to watch you & learn from you. I am a firm believer in learning something new everyday! Learning from such a bright light (you Cate) is so very wonderful! Thank you. Have a blessed weekend. 💖🫶🏽💖🌸🦋

[@CateField]

Oh what a lovely comment Lisa, thank you so much. 🙏 you are absolutely right, learning something new is uplifting and inspiring…. You too 🥰

[@janetpingrey7155]

Fun play. I am going to use this as my warm up this morning. Thank you for sharing.

[@jooc2751]

Love this practice. Thank you so much. Sunny in Southsea uk. Love your channel, a happy discovery today. Just what i need. 😊

[@jooc2751]

@CateField Very happily subscribed & got notifications on. Thanks so much & great to hear you've had happy times in Southsea. 😊

[@margo8248]

Glad you chose the purple to use in your final piece, that was my favourite too. Another inspirational vid that I just have to try out 😊

[@CateField]

Has to be purple Margo! Post your version on the FB group 💜💜💜💜
