I've been playing with the watercolour paint colours that I picked out in last week's art video a bit more and doing some watercolour abstracts with them. So this week you can see how I go about doodling with my watercolour paints and maybe it will get you in the mood to get your own watercolour abstracts doodle practice started? It…
This week I thought that we could get started with watercolour abstracts. I mean it has been a while since we last played with watercolour paint hasn't it? I want to do a series of watercolour abstract doodles but first I need to do a couple of things before I can get started. So grab your watercolour paints and join me…
Let's play with a watercolour doodle! Doodling seems to be as much as I can muster at the moment, what with the crayons last week and this easy way of adding lots of textures to a watercolour doodle today.

You can use Gelatos, and your other watersoluble crayons, in so many ways and I thought I would make this background by using water on the Gelatos directly, and I use several techniques to do this.
