Why do people make rude comments. It must suck to be you, going day to day just looking for an opportunity to downgrade someone else, Maybe some of you should take the energy and use it to better yourself first,

Wow marvellous!

You know my 3 year old sister painted something quite similar to yours.

Does this means she a genius painter like you?

Oh we should sign her up as a art instructor!

I would tilt the paper to see what would happen, why puddle it if one isn't going to "tilt" it? Wouldn't that add more "vibration" to the idea of using that particular paper compared to just using regular watercolour paper?!

It's more fun to just mute the video and watch her paint...

@claudiusrex I agree completely. The art I'm most proud of are the pieces that I make up as I go. I guess you can teach techniques, but even then it's not always helpful

I find it funny how creating art can be learned. Well, at least seems to be under that impression. Just create what you want, how you want. Then it's up to others to call it art.
