Abstract watercolor art with gold mica shimmer, purple and ochre color palette, layered with stencils and acrylics.

Limited Palette, Luxe Results: Purple + Ochre Watercolor & Stencil Art

​

In this video, I’m showing you how to create two richly layered abstract watercolor pieces using just two colors - Masha’s granulating watercolors in a purple and an ochre.

These limited-palette pieces are anything but simple thanks to stencil layering with Blick matte acrylics (Purple Madder, Yellow Oxide, and White) and a shimmering finish using Kuretake gold mica paste.

Inspired by the 12-piece sampler set from my recent series, I took the concept bigger and bolder to explore how minimal materials can create deep, expressive art. If you love intuitive painting, granulation textures, and mixed media layers, you’re going to love this one!

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.
