Recently, I came across an interesting blog entitled, Let's Make a Painting. Mary, host of the blog, shares her extensive, bookmark collection of some of the best, free painting tutorials. These tutorials include both step-by-step and video demos.
There are many wonderful lessons/demonstrations to view. For example, Painting White Roses byTrevor Waugh. This video is accompanied by music rather than instructions but you can still benefit from watching the artist's techniques.
Since Mary is working on perfecting her watercolor painting skills, she also created another blog, Splatter and Brush - A collection of the best free watercolor video lessons and tutorials.
Take a look at these two sites - and then try to fit in some painting time during this hectic Holiday week. Your Muse will thank you. In fact, I'm going to dig out two fairly new books on watercoloring painting and learn some new techniques.
Thank you so much Darlene, for mentioning my tutorial collection! I hope you got some time this weekend to do some painting...I didn't! :-( But I'll keep tryin'......
