Watercolor in a Circle with artist Lynda Norman

What happens when you give watercolor one simple boundary… and then stop trying to control the rest? In this calming session, Kelowna-area watercolor artist Lynda Norman paints a monochromatic circle and lets water + pigment collaborate in real time—guiding gently, adjusting as needed, and staying open to the “unexpected little gifts” that appear as the wash settles. This video is full of quietly useful moments: “Pigment only flows where your water is” (the whole painting philosophy in one line) How Lynda shapes the wash without forcing it Creating trees from suggested forms (instead of planning them first) Using plastic wrap for natural textures and shoreline effects Why collaboration isn’t just between people—sometimes it’s brush, paper, pigment, and patience If you enjoy art that feels like a deep breath, you’re in the right place.
