Colorful Creativity: Playing with Shapes and Colors in Watercolor
In this video, I take you through my process of creating an abstract watercolor piece inspired by a color palette from The Color Cube. I begin by laying down various abstract watercolor shapes in a range of colors, allowing them to dry before adding additional marks and details on top. The result is a dynamic and visually engaging abstract artwork that explores the interplay of color, shape, and texture. Join me as I demonstrate my techniques and share insights into my creative process, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of abstract watercolor painting. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, there's something here for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

what is the name of the ruler that rips the cardstock to a deckled edge?
I list it for you just above the video. The duel edge ripper.
I love watching you. I’m a bit confused because in your list you have both acrylic and tubes and watercolors. Do you put the acrylic tubes in the pans as well?
No, acrylic dries and doesn’t reactivate like watercolor. I use a variety of supplies in mixed media. 🙂
