Wonky Stripes & Watercolor Magic: Playing with Color Cube Palettes

​

Looking for a fun, relaxing abstract watercolor project?

In this tutorial, I’m using a Color Cube palette and Masha’s beautiful handmade watercolors to create a playful wonky stripe painting filled with expressive mark making and joyful color.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned artist, this mixed media art demo will inspire you to loosen up, trust your intuition, and explore new creative combinations. Grab your paints, get comfy, and let’s make something beautifully imperfect together!

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.
