Bright colors of acrylic randomly applied, then silver gesso again over the spatters to make a heart shape.

Of watercolor on a piece of watercolor paper, and then use black ink or black acrylic or some kind of opaque black or white, to block out sections to make a heart shape of the bright colors.

Could probably be done in oil or soft pastels, too.

By that I mean just start with the idea of experimenting and then see what comes out.

to play. He even talks about his inner child doing it. I love the spontaneity and the joy of manipulating paint and the driving curiosity to see what comes out. Most of us unlearn that and it’s a sad thing to lose.

This is a wonderful video. Thanks so much!
