Hi friends! I have a full length process video of a watercolor ink background with acrylic paint and ink layered on top. I love this combo because you can get some nice sharp edges and shapes over the top of a very fuzzy and blended background. I used a photo reference of a hummingbird with some leaves and I hope you try this easy painting along with me. As always, thanks for watching!

How to Paint a Fun and Easy Stylized Flamingo with Acrylic Paint and Collage

Mixed Media Moments #1, What Art I'm Working on This Week
Hi friends! Sometimes when we're not feeling like making art, it's the best time to get started. Staring at a blank page can be rough and for me, getting started is always the hardest when I'm not feeling very creative. But it's always helped me when I just forge ahead anyway, and make a bunch of marks to get into the motion of things and warm up, and some of my most favorite pieces have been created that way! Hopefully this video gives you some inspiration or ideas or just some pep talk to help you get started on your next project.
