Easy Mixed Media Art: Watercolor and Markers for Abstract Journals
Explore a fun and creative art journal project in this video as I work with Masha's Watercolors to create a sampler of abstract shapes in a grid format using shades of orange, green, and blue. Once the watercolor grid is complete, I enhance each square with unique mark-making using Posca markers, Copic Acrea markers, and Tooli-Arts acrylic paint pens. This project is perfect for testing out your art supplies, experimenting with colors and patterns, and adding playful details to your handmade art journal. Watch along for tips, techniques, and inspiration to spark your creativity!
