Mixed Media Mastery: Abstract Painting Techniques
In today’s art video, I embarked on a creative journey exploring the world of abstract painting. My color palette was inspired by the rustic hues found in old buildings, featuring dusty blues, quiet greens, vintage reds, and warm oranges. Armed with a diverse array of artistic tools, including Kuretake Gansi Tambi watercolors, acrylic paints, oil pastels, and posca pens, I delved into the magic of mixed media. Together, we crafted not one, but a pair of abstract paintings. Join me as I break down the process step by step, offering insights and inspiration for your own artistic endeavors. It’s a hands-on art workshop filled with color, expression, and boundless creativity!
