Abstract oval art with granulating watercolors, layered marks, gold dots, and white floral graphics for a mixed media tutorial.

One Page, Endless Marks: Abstract Oval Art with Granulating Watercolors

​

Unlock a playful new way to create abstract art using granulating watercolors and a color palette inspired by the Color Cube!

In this relaxing tutorial, I’ll show you how I painted a page full of simple oval shapes using Masha’s dreamy handmade paints—then brought the whole piece to life with layered mark making.

Whether you’re new to watercolor or just looking for fresh mixed media ideas, this easy abstract technique is a fun way to loosen up, explore color, and make something beautifully unique. Grab your favorite supplies and paint along with me!

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.
