Unconventional Artistry: Abstracts with Watercolor Markers & Pastels
In this art video, we’re diving into the colorful world of abstract creation. I grabbed my Faber Castel Watercolor Markers, Soft pastels, and oil pastels, creating a vibrant masterpiece inspired by the Color Cube palette. We’re not just sticking to the basics – I’ll show you how to add interesting marks and lines that bring the whole piece together. It’s a relaxed and playful exploration of abstract art, with a mix of mediums to keep things interesting. So, join me on this artistic adventure as we let our creativity flow and turn a blank canvas into something uniquely expressive. Let’s make art that’s as fun to create as it is to admire!
