Loose Layers and Earthy Color in the Perfect Sketchbook

In this Kuretake art journal session, I’m working across a new spread in the Perfect Sketchbook by Etchr, layering Kuretake watercolors with Neocolor II pastels, Kingart gel crayons, Faber-Castell Black Edition pencils and a few additional mixed media supplies. I started with loose washes of ochre, rust, olive green and deep blue, then built the pages with looping lines, repeated dashes, scalloped marks and clusters of crisp white dots. The process is intuitive and playful, focusing on color relationships, simple pattern and the way different materials interact as the layers begin to build.

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.
