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

Loose & Wonky Circle Art With Coffee Paints + Pastels

In this relaxing abstract art tutorial, I’m diving back into the beautiful world of Rockwell coffee watercolor paints to create a large, wonky circle design full of expressive color and playful marks.

Using Neocolor II water-soluble pastels, I build rich layers of texture, and add touches of metallic gold to bring it all to life.

Whether you’re exploring mixed media techniques, looking for circle art inspiration, or just love experimenting with coffee-based watercolors, this video will spark your creativity and give you ideas for your own art journal or abstract painting practice.

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.
