So beautiful! Love the granulation and whimsy. ❤

Thanks so much 😊 yes there’s something about granulation that I love. It’s very organic and the technique works well on the pebbles. I’ve always loved a bit of whimsy so I had fun doing this series

Love the rock stacks with the sea glass. Thank you Linda for inspiring us to get out our granulating paints 😍

[@lindabrownartist]

You are very welcome! It's a happy combination isn't it?

Hello Linda. Thank you for this wonderful fun tutorial. There are so many techniques in it. Love the little drawings. Your tutorials have inspired me in my watercolour journey.❤

This is just what I needed to break through painter's block. I recently bought several of Daniel Smith mineral paints and needed some ideas for using them. I love your rock compositions.
