Watercolor abstract painting ideas with simple shapes, dots, modern marks, and layered blue green mixed media texture.

Playful Oval Abstract with Watercolor & Mixed Media Details

​

Ready to loosen up and play with bold color? In this mixed media tutorial, I’m sharing how I created a funky oval abstract painting using Daniel Smith watercolors—focusing on the vibrant duo of Opera Rose and Orange.

After building up expressive watercolor layers, I added intuitive mark making with some of my favorite tools and finished it off with just a touch of shimmering gold.

This is a fun, free-flowing project perfect for anyone exploring abstract art, mark making, and layering techniques. Grab your paints and join me for this colorful creative session!

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/

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.
