Splitting an Abstract: Turning Imperfections into Beauty - Painting Tutorial
In this video, I dive into a colorful artistic adventure with watercolors, stencils, and Mungyo Oil Pastels. I started with a big abstract piece that didn't quite resonate with me, so I decided to embrace the creative process and split it into two smaller pieces that I ended up absolutely loving. Join me as I share my journey of turning a minor setback into a creative breakthrough, exploring different techniques along the way. It's all about the process and experimentation, and I can't wait to share it with you!
