Watercolor Magic: Crafting Free Style Art Totems - Painting Tutorial

Hey there, folks! In this video, I'm diving into the world of Free Style Art Totems, and it's all about letting loose and having fun with colors. I'll show you how to create three tall and skinny abstract art pieces using watercolors, oil pastels, pens, and more. We'll explore the beauty of layering colors and watching them blend together effortlessly. It's all about embracing your creative side and going with the flow. So, grab your art supplies, and let's embark on this artistic journey together!

I also want all the supplies and all the colours! I am absolutely delighted for you that you have found a way to earn an income while getting all the supplies! That is wonderful!

I almost feel like your energy and the way you inspire is your superpower. Your art is just a gorgeous extra bonus! I swear I won’t feel like creating anything but I know as soon as I watch your video. I’ll be sitting in my mini studio ready to create. It took me years to realize that art is more about hardwork and practice vs a natural talent. I get so excited about the visual aids u use the color palette cards your mark making sheets and prompt cards. Choosing all of that along with materials is almost as much fun for me as creating the art.

Oh how you made me laugh out loud ! Lots of your comments were similar to how I think. Love the work. Thank you for sharing your talent, ideas and humour. 😁

Besides loving your classes, I just wanted to mention how spectacular your title pages are (Unlock Your Creativity)! A well-deserving compliment to your photographic talent. Greetings from Madrid!

These are so pretty Denise 😍. As always and echoing other creative’s comments, love watching your process and beautiful energy 💗.
I’ve been getting a bit stuck when it comes to abstract. My mind goes blank and I end up creating an absolute mess. You have reminded me to play and have fun and by doing these pretty totems, it’s a great way to try out the different mediums and colours while creating a piece of art.
I’m glad to hear that collecting art supplies is a thing! Don’t think I’ve ever been so excited when a parcel arrives with art materials. Forget clothes and shoes 😆.

Have a magical week and look forward to your next video. 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻

These are so lovely!. I could make some with my grandsons. 💕

[sculptor]

You crack me up Denise...making a job out of collecting art supplies! 😂 Love these pieces. Reminds me of a spring rain as the bulbs are starting to bloom.

This was so much fun! I love having the freedom that comes when you do your own thing with any type of artwork! I’m at metalsmith but I’ve also fallen in love with encaustic art, drawing and watercolor! And now I’m going to have to try this! I just looks like a blast! I have a ton of pan colors and, acrylics and… well, everything! Thanks so much for the share! Oh, and I adore your enthusiasm too! I could feel it through the tv! You’re pretty amazing!

These are gorgeous, and I love the colors! Thanks Denise 😊❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤how many love hearts can i give. All 3 are spectacular. My intended goal next year, is to use every horded art supply i have. No more admiring it. Open the box, container, whatever it is in, and use it. I would love a giant bookmarker for a gift. Lots of people read. I used to leave ATCs at our local library before we moved. Maybe i will see if they will accept bookmarkers. 😊 loved todays stream.

[angelakapler]

I love that it’s less structured. All those colours are awesome too!

[Lainers]

Your videos make me happy. I see some slimline cards.

[PamelaStovall-ms]

Denise, thank you so much!! I always look forward to your videos. Your creativity always gives me something new...I'm going to make a mark sheet like yours...what a great idea!

[susanleenp]

So pretty! I love it. Seeing some dental X-rays in the water marks!

[herbalannie]

Green gold looks like baby calf poop to me. Lol. I ordered these paints because you use them alot. I can't wait to work with them. Blessings on your day!
