From Ugh to Ahh: A Messy Mixed Media Piece in Blues & Greens

​

In this mixed media art tutorial, I started with Masha's watercolors to lay down a soft base in dreamy blues and greens — but this page didn’t come easy.

I struggled with each layer, experimenting with stencils, mark making, and texture to bring it to life. If you've ever felt stuck or unsure mid-project, you're not alone. Watch as I push through the messy middle to create something I didn’t expect, and maybe it’ll inspire you to keep going too.

Whether you're into abstract painting, mixed media layering, or handmade art journals, there’s something here for you.

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.
