    Yes even my grandkids paint like the motor bike man Robert, but we then grow up.
    when painting loose with watercolour you have got to be good at it and it's not easy
    or it just becomes a sponge painting,myself i try for a tight painting with a small amount of
    loose brush strokes. keep the video coming. Thanks.

    I love this painting and will follow your lead on loosening up with watercolor. It evokes a mood and the feeling of "running through a beautiful scene" that will stick with you and help define a place that impressed you. There's a spontaneity that captures the feel of the place without shoving in your face every distraction of detail.

    Truer words have never been spoken. It recently occurred to me that I was making authentic art all the way up until I decided to study art. Learning the fundamentals caused me to get hung up on details. Now, I’m trying to silence the internal critic, and relegate the “rules” to my subconscious, in the hopes they’ll only bubble up when needed during intuitive “play.”Fingers crossed!

    • @RobertMeeArtist

    Most palette wells are too shallow to allow your wet loaded brush freedom.

      Quite true, I found the Liz Deakin palette and John Pike palettes to have deep wells. Thanks for watching.
