Another test of the Shizen paper I got. I think it's helping me loosen up a little bit. I need to practice more for sure. ___ . . . #shizenpaper #shizendesign #mushlove #mushroomart #mushroom #woodlandart #nature #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorart #aquarelle #illustration #painting #artwork #traditionalart #kuretakegansaitambi #artistsoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaartist #indianaartist #indyartist #art #artist #studiocaprittarius (at Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwarrSAJPE5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k2t6d4wdzovg

First test of the Shizen rough handmade paper. I'm in love with the texture but it's so thirsty though. Gotta use lots of layers. ___ . . . #shizenpaper #shizendesign #forgetmenot #flowerart #watercolorflowers #floralart #nature #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorart #aquarelle #illustration #painting #artwork #traditionalart #kuretakegansaitambi #artistsoninstagram #artofinstagram #instaartist #indianaartist #indyartist #art #artist #studiocaprittarius (at Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9nkoanMrx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ymrn7ym5crq
