Bead Painting

I invented bead painting as a unique way to blend these two techniques, allowing beads to function as “brushstrokes” on a canvas, much like a painter would with watercolor. Through this method, bead colors are carefully selected and applied to create smooth transitions, gradients, and shading, giving the artwork a soft, painterly effect. The result is a fusion of the structured precision of beadwork and the graceful fluidity of aquarelle painting, creating a new and innovative form of artistic expression.

This gives an even greater sense of three-dimensional space. The result is often a richly textured, vibrant piece of art that combines the precision of beadwork with the fluidity of watercolor painting..
