Description
In this class, we’ll create mini abstract stripe paintings that are full of color, texture, and playful mark-making.
These small paintings are a wonderful way to experiment with color palettes, watercolor layering, and decorative marks without the pressure of creating a large finished piece. Each painting becomes a tiny exploration of color, rhythm, and creativity.
Together we’ll paint a series of loose watercolor stripes, letting colors blend and flow naturally across the page. Once the paint is dry, we’ll add expressive details using dots, lines, loops, and metallic accents to build layers of interest and texture.
This process is relaxing, intuitive, and perfect for artists who want to loosen up and explore new ideas.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
- Create beautiful blended watercolor stripes
- Build harmonious color palettes
- Add personality with simple mark-making techniques
- Use white and metallic accents to highlight your painting
- Turn small paintings into a creative color exploration practice
This class is beginner-friendly and also a great creative warm-up for more experienced artists.

I’m exploring bold color, loose watercolor stripes, playful marks, and metallic details in this mini abstract painting class.
I created this colorful collection of mini abstract stripe paintings as a playful study of watercolor, pattern, and metallic details.
Check out what students are saying about this workshop:
“I watched this while spending 6 weeks with my sister. I am a landscape artist but like abstract art as well. As I couldn’t bring all my supplies, I used the smallest neocolor ll set along with my Daniel Smith paints, a few markers and a12 piece set of watercolor pencils to follow along. These are great for satisfying your artistic urges no matter what size trips your trigger. Had already started the class on patterns before leaving home and am excited to pickup where I left off once I have all my goodies to play with. This is great for all levels but super for artists that need to refresh.” ~ Eileen M.
“A wonderful class with Denise. It’s always such a treat to watch and learn from D. The PDF resources are presented beautifully. I also learn a lot from D as she paints and talks. Terrific tips and easy to follow. The class flows in a marvelous way- before you know it you have made beautiful abstract art! Thank you, Denise” ~ Ellen B.
“This is one of Denise’s best classes! Her enthusiasm is wonderful. This is a great class for having a play with color and mark making – stress-free. I highly recommend this class!” ~ Susan B.
“This is a great idea, and Denise knocked it out of the park again! Such an amazing instructor! I love all of her classes, and specifically look for them when I have time to paint.” ~ Jen L-H
I love seeing how the same stripe-painting process changes with three completely different palettes.
