Hello dear artists!!!

Today we put aside traditional brushes to experiment with a piece of plastic bag. Painting roses and bougainvilleas this way forces us to let go of control and allows our brain to adapt to more intuitive and abstract forms.
The benefit of this technique is ideal for those who feel their style is 'too rigid.' By not having complete control over the stroke, we discover organic textures that only chance and experimentation can give us.

MATERIALS
A plastic bag
Arches fine grain paper in Bougainvillea
160g sketchbook for drawing in pinks
(as you can see, you don't have to limit yourself to the materials)
Watercolors pink green sepia indigo Payne's gray
Calligraphy brush
lots of love
