Hello! This time I'm sharing my process of a mixed media winter landscape painting. I talk about trying not to be afraid of making bad art, and feeling freer and looser with my painting. I also use up the leftover watercolour and gouache paint in my palettes by colouring some Flower Fairy greetings cards and preparing some pretty backgrounds.

Join me for a few days in Italy! I explored the beautiful towns of Foligno, Fabriano and Gubbio in the Umbria region, and also visited Marmore Falls. Plus of course it was the graduation evening of The Mastery Program! This is the online art course by The Milan Art Institute I've been talking about for a while! I have photos and a few words about it on my blog: https://open.substack.com/pub/helenhobden/p/graduating-in-italy?r=1lbf4t&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true As always, thank you so much for watching and spending your time with me!
