Artistic Journey: Exploring Abstract Expression with Watercolors

In this video, I delve into the world of abstract painting using Masha's Watercolors on my lovely Indigo Rag Book Watercolour Sketchbook. With a focus on warm hues like pinks, oranges, and purples, I guide viewers through the process of creating two dynamic abstract compositions. Demonstrating techniques such as stenciling and mark-making, I add layers of visual interest and depth to the paintings, inviting fellow artists to explore their own creativity through experimentation and expression.

Both sides are beautiful and I’m especially fond of the purple one. 😊 Loved the subtle gold stenciling too.

Such a cool idea about adding the gold powder to the gold acrylic paint!! When you did that, I yelled, whooooaa, I never thought about doing that! Now I'm going to try that. Great paint day!!

[sheilaschmid]

Soooo beautiful...and that journal/paper. I give up - I just want it all. 🤩 Off to find my most interesting paper and paint with my Masha's watercolors - hoping for something gorgeous! I love watching you apply the paint Denise. It's like you have the perfect amount of water in just the right places when you add a different color and it just explodes into the previous color. So nice!💗🧡

Sitting in a hospital bed, watching you create masterpieces makes this deary Sunday more palletful to me. Love the purple side, esp the cardboard marks.

Pulling the tape changes everything. In my own journals... It takes a ho hum picture to a finished piece. The magic white border!

[kriskriskris]

I love "hanging out" with you by watching your videos. I always learn something new or get new ideas. Thank you so much for all you do!😊❤

[suzannefellows]

Hi Denise. I do exactly that with my Golden gold paint and gold powder, I apply it with a dry hog hair brush. Works a treat if you want more paint on the paper. Just love it!
