Watercolor Layers & Mark Making: Try This Abstract Painting Idea

​

In this tutorial, I’m creating two abstract watercolor pieces using a dreamy palette of purple, pink, and ochre inspired by The Color Cube. I start with soft watercolor washes, then add layers of interest with mark making, a bit of stencil work, and some finishing touches in gold and white.

It’s a relaxed, playful process where I explore color and texture without overthinking. If you’re looking for some inspiration to loosen up and have fun with your paints, come hang out and paint with me!

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.
