    I think I will get better but so far I love the technique. Love. I wish I had know the paint colours you were using before I started. I don't have them all.

    I teach this painting in a classroom session and every student gets a different result, even when using the same palette. Colour mixing can be very personal - try a different mix of colours for a completely different result!
