Abstract Circle Painting with Watercolors, Oil Pastels & Gold Details

​

Come paint with me in this fun, beginner-friendly abstract art tutorial where I create a colorful circle painting using a gorgeous Color Cube palette, Masha’s watercolors, creamy oil pastels, and bold acrylic markers—plus a little gold for that magical finishing touch.

Whether you're new to mixed media or just looking for fresh inspiration, this relaxing painting session will help you loosen up, play with color, and explore abstract shapes without overthinking the process.

Perfect for artists who love intuitive, process-based art and want to build confidence with watercolor, pastels, and layered mark-making.

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.
