Watercolor abstract painting ideas with simple shapes, dots, modern marks, and layered blue green mixed media texture.

Gold, Teal & Texture: Redoing My Funky Ovals with Daniel Smith Paints

​

Ready to revisit one of my favorite funky oval watercolor pieces—but with a twist? In this video, I recreate that abstract design using Daniel Smith's Cascade Green in place of Masha’s watercolors to see how closely I can match the vibe using a new brand and a rich teal tone.

You'll watch the full process as I paint layered ovals, add expressive mark making in white, gold, and teal, and finish with playful stencil work to bring it all together.

Whether you're a mixed media artist, watercolor lover, or just looking for fresh inspiration, this tutorial is packed with creative ideas for your next art journal or abstract project.

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.
