Embrace Imperfection in Watercolor

Watercolor painting has a natural unpredictability, with colors often spreading, merging, and layering in unexpected ways. In Creative Abstract Watercolor, Kate Leach emphasizes the beauty of letting go of control and allowing the paint to create its own patterns. Rather than striving for perfection or rigid control, embrace “happy accidents” as part of the creative process. These imperfections can lead to surprising, expressive effects that make each painting unique and personal. Leach encourages artists to view mistakes as opportunities to explore new and rewarding possibilities.
