Bold & Minimal: 2-Piece Abstract Painting Using Shadow Turquoise

​

Unleash your creativity in this relaxing abstract art tutorial as I paint a striking 2-piece diptych using just one granulating watercolor—Shadow Turquoise from Masha’s Handmade Watercolors.

Watch as dreamy wonky circles come to life with rich texture, expressive mark making, graphite lines, and shimmering gold accents.

Whether you're a watercolor lover, abstract art explorer, or simply craving inspiration, this video walks you through a simple yet powerful mixed media process perfect for any skill level.

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/

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.
