In this large abstract watercolour I paint in a similar style to Lena Gemzoe. One of my subscribers asked if I would demonstrate a technique that sounded like hers. So here it is! A few simple colours and a butter soft container lid! No brushes were harmed in the production of this painting! It has beautiful hard edges and soft edges. I use a lot of wet in wet and the spray bottle. I mounted the full sheet of paper to mdf but the board could have been smaller to allow me to tilt it more easily.

The colours used were: lamp black, indigo, paynes grey, burnt sienna and raw sienna.

The paper was Rives BFK Arches etching paper

The brush was a cut out butter soft lid and a huge hake brush but you could use any large brush.

Any questions let me know. Hopefully I explained a few things that help with understanding that process.

Good luck! Let me know how you get on!

Thanks for watching!

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Photo Editing - Affinity Photo: https://geni.us/AffinityPhoto
I use this for any photo editing that I might need to do such as stitching multiple scanned images of my original artwork together. It is a one off expense ($70 at time of writing this) rather than the monthly fee you have to pay with photoshop.
