Week 2 was by Nicole & it was a great lesson to learn how to interpret my own inspirations from around the globe and abstractly paint them!
It was a great practice to explore all my brushes in a way I hadn’t tried before. I went a lil overboard and practiced quite a lot on old book pages.
To learn new things, I tried the one Nicole taught on a watercolor paper.

And finally, I wanted to create one from my inspiration click. This is a picture I took in the Himalayas while river crossing, where u can see all the rocks and pebbles through the clear waters.
For this, I gesso’d my sketchbook and then thinned down acrylic paints to achieve the watercolor effects. Was really fun to experiment with new things..
