Let the unpredictability of water help you create abstract flower paintings in this video workshop from Carrie Schmitt.

Begin with a lesson on preparing your Aquabords as a substrate, then follow Carrie's techniques for adding your first layer of paint with drips and sprays of water to create flowing effects. As you up build layers you'll learn techniques for etching, adding texture, adding masking fluid, and learn to identify the composition. In the end you will have created carefree art with dramatic drips and luscious layers.
