Creative Sampler: Exploring Supplies in 12 Mini Abstract Paintings

​

In this video, I’m creating a 12-piece mixed media sampler on one sheet of watercolor paper—just for the joy of experimenting with my favorite supplies.

I start by laying down soft, vibrant layers using Masha’s watercolors, then build up interest with mark making using Posca and Copic Acrea markers. To finish things off, I add stencil work to bring in texture and pattern.

This is a fun, low-pressure way to explore how your materials interact and spark new ideas for future projects. Come paint along and see what magic unfolds!

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/

(Some of the links are affiliate links. If you use my link, I get a small commission, which will go toward my art supplies and to support this channel! I appreciate your support!!)

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.
