Bold Strokes and Subtle Accents: Crafting Organic Art with Acrylic Inks
In this video, I guide you through the creation of an abstract organic piece using acrylic inks. Working primarily with shades of blue and brown, I demonstrate how the inks blend to form captivating patterns on the canvas. Adding depth with bold strokes in deep brown and accents of pastels and gold, I showcase the process of layering and texture manipulation to achieve a visually striking composition. Join me as I explore the fluidity of acrylic inks and the transformative potential of color in abstract art.

Turquoise & red go well together. How do you deckel edge of watercolor paper? I’ve never had much success doing it.
I made a little class on my favorite ways to deckle the edges if you want to check it out. (https://2lilowls.com/product/deckled-edges-creating-soft-torn-edges-for-your-art/) I usually use a straight ruler or my deckled edge rip ruler and have always had pretty good luck with edges I like.
This was so much fun to watch. Beautiful color combo’s.
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you! <3
Love your work
Thank you!!
I live the gold paste that you used at the end. What is it?
The colors are just so beautiful.
That is the Kuretake gold mica paste!
