Have you ever had the experience of making a mistake, and then loving that part of the painting the most? One of the reasons this happens is that the eye loves the UNEXPECTED. It jumps to contrast and it notices new and different patterns. In this video I’m using this to my advantage as I paint flowers in grey to make the colorful ones look even more colorful. What do YOU think. Did it work?

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
