TRY THIS! Watch me PLAY With Negative Painting & Lifting Techniques: Watercolor Lilacs

Learn how to paint lilacs using negative shape and lifting techniques in a soft, relaxing style. My experimental painting process video will start from loose beginnings and work toward soft detail. I hope it will inspire you to loosen up, go with the flow and try new techniques in your own work!

You'll see how I build up the painting layer by layer — pushing shapes back, pulling others forward, and letting the flowers slowly emerge from the background.
