Mini Abstracts in a Grid: Watercolor & Mark Making Tutorial

​

In this tutorial, I guide you through the process of creating a beautiful grid of mini abstract paintings using watercolor, Copic Acrea markers, and gold stencil details.

I start with a rich base of blues and greens using Masha’s watercolors, then add layers of expressive mark making with acrylic markers in coordinating shades. To finish, I enhance each piece with gold stencil work for added texture and shimmer.

Whether you're new to mixed media or looking for fresh inspiration, this project is a fun and creative way to explore color, layering, and abstract design. Grab your supplies and let’s paint together!
