We're back with another Paint With Me video! Today's painting is a slow watercolor study of oranges hanging from a branch.

Sometimes the best practice is simply slowing down and letting the brush move. It was a great way to spend my afternoon, and I hope you enjoy 🍊

I may have to do a second swatch video of this one because it gives such a different feel when it's super saturated (like in this video) vs. just a touch of color.

There is so. much. color. packed into one tiny DrySheet!

Is your art bold and bright, or more subdued and subtle? Both looks can be achieved with Peerless Watercolors!
