Moody Blues & Silvers | Easy Abstract Painting Techniques for Beginners

​

In this video, I’ll walk you through the process of creating a stunning set of two abstract paintings using a rich blue, purple, and silver color palette pulled from The Color Cube.

We’ll begin with loose watercolor layers using Kissho Watercolors, then build depth with Blick matte acrylics, graphite scribbles, Posca dots, and textured stencil work using Joggles stencils.

Whether you're a mixed media beginner or a seasoned artist looking for fresh inspiration, this step-by-step tutorial will spark your creativity and show you how to bring abstract compositions to life with simple tools and playful mark-making.

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.
