How to Paint Abstract Watercolor

In this video, I'll show you how to paint an abstract watercolor in less than 10 minutes!

As a beginner in watercolors, it can be daunting to get started, or even choose a reference photo. This is a fun and relaxing exercise to learn composition and color mixing.

I'll go through step-by-step the techniques and colors I use so you can create a similar painting.

This is a new series of tutorials/demonstrations where I experiment with different sketching/painting methods. Hope you like it!
