Colorful Creativity: Finishing Abstract Art in Watercolor Sketchbook
In this tutorial, I explored abstract art using Hahnemuhle’s watercolor sketchbook and Masha’s Watercolors. After swatching out colors, I created diverse abstract backgrounds, revisiting them to add intentional marks and finishing touches. The process unfolds in a step-by-step journey, showcasing the versatility of Masha’s Watercolors on the textured pages. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting, join me in unlocking the secrets of transforming abstract bases into completed artworks.
