After watching this video of yours in full, I am still painting with the traditional method, or in other words, the simpler method. The enlightenment you gave me is that when I start painting, I can use more of your methods. There will be more uncertainty in this way, so that the picture can change from a simple brushstroke effect to a more picture quality.

Jean, thank you so much for this video on creating textures. I saw you use the fabric in a video you did for Angela Fehr's artist community. I've used that several times. Most recently I found that lace makes a fabulous texture for sunflower centers! Looking forward to trying some of these other techniques.

Some great ideas that I will definitely try. I recently bought some stencil brushes and find that I like them for spattering better than a toothbrush. And the first time I used cling wrap (after watching one of your videos) I was blown away by the incredible results I got! Thanks for all your wonderful tips.

I had fun utilizing your ideas with my kids today. Something neat we discovered: since I didn’t have a spray bottle at hand with water, I substituted with spray bottle of hypochlorous acid that also contained saline. Interesting results after my son saturated and lightly sprayed sections of his watercolor with it and it had dried. It created large and small blooms.
