Abstract Adventures: Mashas Watercolors and Creative Mark Making
Hey, art enthusiasts! In my latest video, I dove into the world of abstract expressionism using an eclectic mix of art tools. From Mashas Watercolors to Gold Mica Paste, Stabilo Woody, and Mungyo Oil Pastels, I explored intuitive painting and mark-making techniques. It’s a laid-back journey through creative chaos, where I let the colors mingle and the strokes take on a life of their own. Join me in this art workshop for a relaxed session of abstract exploration. No rules, just me, the canvas, and a bunch of interesting tools. Let’s embrace the beauty of imperfection together!
