My 3 mini abstract paintings made with gouache, stencil layers, and bold mark-making in pink, coral, red, and olive tones.

3 Mini Abstract Paintings with Gouache, Marks & Stencil Layers

​

In this tutorial, I’m walking you through how I created a vibrant 3-piece abstract art set using ShinHan gouache, stencil layers, and expressive mark-making.

If you love bold color palettes, mixed media textures, and watching abstract paintings come to life, you’re in the right place! I’ll show you how I built up each layer, what inspired my colors (hello, Color Cube!), and the simple tools I used to add depth and movement.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, this video is packed with tips to spark your creativity and help you make your own cohesive art series.

Looking for the supplies I used? I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used materials on one easy-to-update page here: https://2lilowls.com/favorite-supplies-for-mixed-media-abstract-art/

(Some of the links are affiliate links. If you use my link, I get a small commission, which will go toward my art supplies and to support this channel! I appreciate your support!!)

Note: I don’t list individual supply links on every post any longer, simply because keeping up with that for each video or project took more time than I have. Instead, I’ve created one easy-to-browse page where I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used art supplies. It’s always up to date, and a great place to find what I’m working with most often.
