Kissho Watercolors: Swatching Session and Abstract Art Tutorial

​

In today’s video, I’m diving into abstract mixed media and starting with something I’ve wanted to do for a while: swatching my Kissho watercolors. I test the colors, get a feel for how they move on paper, and then jump into creating one finished abstract piece using Kissho watercolors, acrylic paint pens, graphite pencil, Neocolor II pastels, Tempera sticks, and a few extra layered details along the way. If you love watercolor swatching, art supply play, and intuitive abstract painting, come paint with me.

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.
