100 Day Art Challenge! Sharing My Secret Watercolor Underpainting Technique

Join me for a 100 day painting challenge where I share watercolor techniques and sketchbook painting habits built over 30 years. This video documents my personal 100 day painting challenge. I break down my approach to daily practice, showing you how I use a simple art notebook to keep my skills sharp. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, seeing how I organize my materials and manage my time offers a realistic look at how to sustain a long-term creative habit. Throughout the process, I demonstrate specific watercolor techniques and how I approach my color swatches for better results. By focusing on consistent sketchbook painting, you can improve your control and confidence without needing hours of free time every single day. I also walk through the different types of notebooks I use to keep my work organized.

When you like, comment, or share my videos, that alone means the world to me. Some of you have asked for a wish list, so I’m sharing it here. It includes things I’d love to use in future coloring pages and videos. There are a few more extravagant things on my list. It’s really just my way of keeping track of them and sharing ideas with my husband. Plus if you've watched my haul videos, you know I’m a bit extra! 😅 Thank you for being here with me. Seriously, it means so much to me.
