World Watercolor Month - Day 3 - Color Bleed Blobs!

Happy Day 3 of World Watercolor Month, friends! Yesterday's mark-making exercise is one that I practice in almost every single workshop. I hope that after playing with your brushes, you feel more comfortable using them in new ways and that you feel more confident in your ability to create a variety of brushstrokes.

Today, we are practicing wet-on-wet techniques with a funky color-bleed exercise. Check out examples & video references below, as well as today's journal prompts and mantras.

Paint colorful circles and just slightly overlap them while they are still wet, so colors from one circle bleed slowly into the next.

Journal Prompt:

Where do I feel most connected?

What relationships bring out the best in me?

Mantra:

I invite peace to wash over me.

I invite meaningful connection.
