How to Create Abstract Linear Art Using an Intuitive Painting Process | Watercolors and Mixed Media

As much as I typically prefer to paint without a plan, sometimes I want to practice certain techniques and having at least an idea of a plan can help kick things off. In this video, I practice color blending using just three colors watercolors and then I move to on to creating simple line work before adding a little bit of shimmer as a final touch to my painting. The process is slow, mindful and really enjoyable. I hope you will enjoy it too! #intuitive_watercolor_painting #mixed_media #abstract_watercolor #abstract_linear art Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (*** I now have the ability to monetize my site.
