Creating Abstract Art | Relaxing Watercolor Techniques

​

In this tutorial, I explore the calming process of creating organic abstract shapes with watercolor in soothing shades of blue and green. Working in one of my handmade journals on beautiful, textured paper, I leave intentional white space around the shapes to allow for a harmonious composition. Once dry, I come back to add intricate mark-making details that bring the piece to life. This relaxing exercise is perfect for anyone looking to create abstract art in a mindful way, whether you're working on loose paper or in a journal. Join me in this calming and creative journey!
