I posted this elsewhere on a channel and i want to share it to you.I just subscribe to your Channel, I am by no means a professional artist, I just love to do abstracts my way and I enjoy doing it just for the fun of it and to relieve stress and for inner peace.Once in awhile I will do Canvas abstract with acrylic and watercolor, I stay away from oil painting because I'm not that great at that and I'm just so use to the acrylics, watercolor,and gouache.Matter of fact i make gouache by just using watercolors with the white paint supplied with the watercolor paints, that way i can use no water at all or just a smidgen of water makes beautiful gouache.I love art journaling period.I started my art journaling through YouTube by watching artists on YouTube doing what they do best and when I came across art journaling it @t I have a new channel to to follow and to learn.Thank you for your beautiful work and sharing, sorry this was a bit long, but just had to express my inner feelings about art.P/S I always love music while painting, it gives me more ideas.Acrylics as watercolor?, yes awesome.I love freestyle and spontaneous painting I just start painting and let it leave me to wherever, I am a 67 year old disabled veteran and I have plenty of time to paint.Kim love your style, keep it up and let it flow.❤👍🌄😃👌😊🏆

[KariGibsonArt]

That is gorgeous and a great idea to just have fun without overthinking - I must make better use of my Neocolours!

[sueellens]

I love this! I love Neocolor II’s as well. Looks like I’ll have some play time tomorrow. Thank you, Kim.

[PhoebesWorldProductions]

Yeah, I overthink things too. =)
That was fun. =) I did one 10 minutes was the perfect amount of time, for this. (I'm surprised, I usually don't like being timed - or feel rushed - but I didn't feel that way, at all). =)
Yours came out beautifully.... I think mine will turn into a background for something.... but.... I had fun doing it. =)
