Expressive Abstract Art: Easy Steps to Beautiful Art Creations – Painting Tutorial

In this video, I take you on a creative journey where we explore the world of abstract art using a mix of watercolors and oil pastels. I dive into the Color Cube Palette Cards, experimenting with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors, and adding unique stenciled elements to the mix. Along the way, I share my process, from initial practice pieces to the final abstracts I fell in love with. Join me in the studio as I guide you through the steps and techniques to craft your own captivating abstract artwork. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this tutorial is designed to spark your creativity and inspire your artistic expression.
