When I feel a slump in my watercolour practice, I remind myself to let go of expectations and lean into spontaneity and the sense of wonder instead. This painting is the result of one such reminder.
In this demonstration, you will see how I created expressive brushstrokes and granulating textures by playing with paint and water, and how I was surprised by this warm and cosy, yet vibrant and complex, colour scheme when I used a long-forgotten colour on a whim.
This landscape ended up even more spontaneous than I thought it would be, all thanks to the “hidden” shapes that revealed themselves as the first wash was drying.
I hope this video inspires you to trust our own process, embrace the unknown, and let your watercolours lead the way.
