Colorful abstract watercolor artwork featuring layered textures, expressive mark making, and mixed media materials including Posca markers and pastels.

Mixed Media Playtime: Watercolor Sampler with Posca, NeoColor II & More!

​

Ready to loosen up and explore color, texture, and playful mark making? In this video, I create an abstract watercolor sampler inspired by a palette from The Color Cube and enhanced with Masha’s dreamy granulating watercolors. Then I layer in expressive details using NeoColor II pastels, Posca markers, graphite pencil, and more.

Whether you're just starting with abstract techniques or looking for fresh inspiration, this relaxing, process-focused tutorial invites you to experiment and follow your creative curiosity.

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.
