Have fun playing with watercolors

Life is so very stressful these days, that having some creative outlets where one can be distracted and productive helps calm anxiety and stress.

Here we share a video by one of our instructors, Anya Toomre, showing us how to play with paint splotches. It’s a lot like the game of seeing what you can see in cloud shapes, but with watercolor splotches and a pen.

This kind of thing works for any level of artist or non-artist. There’s no real skill required in making a splotch of paint, and then the drawing can be of imaginary animals or fruits and vegetables, or everyday items, or patterns or zentangles, or doodles.

Anya got the idea from another Cloud 9 teaching artist, Maja Sereda . Artists inspiring artists!
