Make a Mini Zine with Me: Coffee Tones, Stencils & Abstract Marks
Join me in the studio as I create a gorgeous folded zine book using Rockwell Coffee watercolor paints, layered with stenciling and expressive mark making.
In this mixed media art tutorial, I’ll walk you through each step of the process—from loose, intuitive painting to folding and gluing the final zine.
This is the perfect project for anyone who loves handmade art books, earthy color palettes, and creative play. Whether you’re new to zine making or a seasoned art journaler, you’ll leave inspired to try your own version.
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.
