Painted using not only paintbrushes, but also (primarily) an old credit card and a twig snapped at random from a bush beside our house. The speckled effect I got by sprinkling sand on the paint while it was still damp.

That looks just wonderful. This might sound like a stupid question but what sort of paper do you use for watercolour. I've been thinking of buying some watercolours and oils but don't have a clue. 😊😊

There is special paper produced for watercolour painting. Made from cotton, it absorbs colour well and, provided it is heavy (thick) enough, does not wrinkle when wetted. I use paper made by a company called Bockingford. cassart.co.uk/brand/bocking...

Wonderful! I’ve heard of using salt on paintings so I suppose sand has the same effect 🙂

You are getting good at this Brent. Watercolours are quite a difficult medium to use but you are really getting to grips with them. I love this simple painting as the colours really work.

Keep up the good work, it must be very satisfying.

Hi Brent_Wilson, I love art that's completed with random tools, and look at how beautifully it's turned out. Really, really accomplished! 👍🙏

Thank you. I am still a rank amateur (I started painting in January), but at least I feel to be more in control.
