Colorful Creativity: Playing with Shapes and Colors in Watercolor
In this video, I take you through my process of creating an abstract watercolor piece inspired by a color palette from The Color Cube. I begin by laying down various abstract watercolor shapes in a range of colors, allowing them to dry before adding additional marks and details on top. The result is a dynamic and visually engaging abstract artwork that explores the interplay of color, shape, and texture. Join me as I demonstrate my techniques and share insights into my creative process, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of abstract watercolor painting. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, there's something here for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

Behind the Scenes: Studio Changes & Answering Your FAQs as a Full-time Artist
All of the above! Teaching, learning, selling my art… That is what makes it fun! You put it in a way that I haven’t been able to. I thought I either had to be making art for fun, or doing it as a profession. Well, doing it professionally is what makes it fun for me! Thank you so much seems like such an obvious thing, but it was very insightful for me when you said this :-) I just came across your channel yesterday. Been really enjoying your energy and your style, abstract art is More meditational and a type of letting go from my usual technical problem-solving way of working in art. I get a lot out of watching you have fun! ❤️
Beautiful palette. Very interesting to watch!
Love it❤
Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful! And I am very grateful for your helpful tips!
I’m so glad!! Thank you! 🥰
I think this is my favorite one you’ve done so far! I have a piece I did a few years ago in brown sand golds that started as brayer wipe off for a gelli plate piece. It turned out to be a major fave. (I’ll show you in the group). I’ve been struggling with shapes in watercolor like this, though and you’ve given me new inspiration. ESPECIALLY since my hubby gave me an early birthday present of the color cubes. Both of them! Can’t wait to play today. Thank you for reawakening the artist urges in me. I didn’t realize how hungry to do art I have been.
This one was fun to do! So glad you enjoyed it!! Yay on the early Birthday Present!! Hope you love the cubes... Happy Birthday!! 🎉
So interesting to hear about all the different ways to frame and sort your art. Thank you! 💕 I'm slowly making my way through all your videos and am trying to pace myself so that I won't run out - LOL.
So glad you enjoyed seeing those different ways to treat a piece! 😁 Thank you! 🥰
Lovely😍 and relaxing to watch. The colour palette is rich and autumnal, fitting for our British summer we are having 😆 🙏🏻😍🙏🏻
Thank you! 🥰
Beyond GREAT paint day!!! ❤❤❤ Oh I just needed to watch you do this today because I’m struggling with the Khadi paper. I’m 99% sure I’m having a love/hate relationship with it 😂…love it for the rough heavy texture and hate it for the rough heavy texture😳😝. I’m so excited to just play with this concept of yours today and those gorgeous colors. Your piece -POW ❤❤❤ the moment you peeled away that first piece of tape I was going “YES 👍🏻 “ - super awesome!!!
I had a love/hate with it last year... but have decided I like it for mixed media and like the price point for an all-cotton paper. It isn't my favorite like the Hahnemuhle paper is. So glad you loved this!! Thank you! 🥰
Denise I did the same thing this week. I was learning a new technique from an artist and it wasn't working for me. I was discouraged I just prayed for success today and it was a better day. I absolutely love this piece you did and the color cube card. I'm going to get mine out and do this one too. Have a great week and 4th.😊🎉
These are some good colors!! Have fun 🎨🎨🎨 Thank you! 🥰
Great paint day indeed! 🎉 really came to life when you did the deckled edge ❤
That made it perfect! Thank you! 🥰
The gold toilet paper circles really brought it all together💕
They really did! Thank you! 🥰
Another art day takes day ! 🫶🏻
Thank you! 🥰
A bit different than your usual style but stunning none the less. I'm off to try one of my own. Thanks!
It’s fun to jump around and experiment! Thank you! 🥰
Le retour de l’aquarelle ! Enfin !
😁
🇨🇦🌞❤️🌸
Thank you! 🥰
Thanks for the inspiration!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🥰
I love your abstract art Denise, I love to watch you create your shapes and colours, You are my fav addiction…..Much love to you in all that you enjoy❤✨ ❤✨❤✨❤
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful piece! Thank you once again for another wonderful painting! 😊❤
My pleasure 😊 Thank you! 🥰
Stunning. Fantastic colours. Love abstract art ! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Thank you! 🥰
This one made me happy. I wasn't feeling the last few as much. Thank you!
I like to hop around and experiment! Thank you! 🥰
Love the graphite colors … good news have just looked on Amazon and the Derwent ones are on sale with a nice discount….I don’t know if they are the same as yours but there are 12 colors….just love your finished abstract Denise….❤❤❤
That’s great! I have the Derwent ones. They are ok. A few different colors in that set! Thank you! 🥰
Denise …. oh now look what I did…I loved your powder paints video yesterday so just ordered the three different powder paints you used plus the Derwent graphite paints and of course a couple of other things…my explanation to Peter is …early birthday gifts…🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@patriciabeaumont4442that powder is messy! But I love it. It will contaminate your work surface if you get too wild with it! 😁… happy early birthday!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@2lilowlsstudio Thank you so much for the tip Denise…will have to be super careful with it …I also found a book by Brusho on how to use it…should be fun…Thank you so much Denise for all your great videos and encouragement…❤️❤️❤️
Cool! Love the colors. What I do with my color cards, is when I pull one out and find the colors I want to use, I write the names of the colors on the card, and also, I get a black marker and make a mark along one edge to show that I have used it.
That’s great! Thank you! 🥰
Really beautiful! Has fall vibes. Color challenges are my favorite
I love them too! 😁 Thank you! 🥰
So pretty!
Thank you! 🥰
Stunning paint day Denise, Love it, love it, love it!!!
So glad you loved it!! Thank you! 🥰
The gold circles really finished it! Beautiful!
Thank you! 🥰
Hey Denise, love the color palette and beautiful mark making!!! I find myself being hesitant and a little anxious when it comes to mark making, thank you for teaching me to be brave!!!
So glad it is helpful! Thank you! 🥰
Another beautiful piece Denise. I love those little paint sets. I got excited when you pulled out the Kuretake gold ink. I’ll have to check out those paint sets. I’ve got my eyes on a new set by Rosá. They’re made in Ukraine and have great reviews. You should check out the Kuretake dot pens! They have a large and small dot at either end. They are very pastel, but the metallics would be more your thing. I just got the entire range. I have no idea what was said in this video, I have the volume off. I’m in bed listening to snoring. 😅 It’s been a few weeks, but glad I got to watch you work your magic 🫶🇦🇺🦘
So glad you enjoyed it… even on mute 😁 Thank you! 🥰
Really enjoyed your creativity Denise…be happy when I have time for more art…❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥰
these colours are so pretty, very autumnal ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Thanks!
Eeeek! You’ve really made my day! Thank you! 🥰
I am speechless… running🏃♀️➡️to my art room with joy and beauty in my heart!!! ❤
So glad you loved this one!! Have fun 🎨🎨🎨 Thank you! 🥰
Very creative and beautiful . Happy Birthday girl.🎉
Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful. Now I need to try that colour palette too!
It’s a good one! Thank you! 🥰
I am going to try this idea! You are the best at demo and inspiration. Thank you, Denise.
You are so welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
I am learning how to let a background be, and go back to it at a later date w lovely results. Thank you for helping me w patience!
So glad that is helpful! Thank you! 🥰
Really beautiful!
Thank you! 🥰
💕
Thank you! 🥰
I love watching your videos, Denise! And it is refreshing seeing you do some thoughtful shapes here. I hope you do more of this type of creation. ❤❤❤
This was a fun one to do! Thank you! 🥰
Love how this came out! Quin deep gold and Raw umber violet are two of my favorite Daniel Smith Watercolors, but I don't know if I've ever put them together! You've inspired me to try, lol. On the cooler side of the spectrum, Sodalite Genuine is amazing.
So glad you loved it!! Thank you! 🥰
Love the YT videos and also take your classes on Skillshare...inspiration always!!!❣
So glad you loved it!! Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful & fun! Love listening to you decide on marks and coming to understand more the selection process for colors used. I follow you on Skillshare - wondering if you have a class about your artist journey to online business (that you mentioned regarding your 365 project) or maybe give you an idea for a class? Having a great time working my way thru ALL your classes on SS!
So glad you enjoyed this!! I have talked quite a bit over the years on my journey to creating my business. I did a 365 day photography project in 2011, which led me into a creative photography business... just in the past 3 years have I added in art goodies as I move further and further into art and away from photography... I have done art since I was a kid and I was getting burned out on photography. I might do a new video on that! Thank you! 🥰
@@2lilowlsstudio I love hearing artists “stories” especially those who love different types/styles and choose to pivot - it’s the thoughts surrounding the pivot and actions taken (their “roadmap” so to speak)…probably comes from my 40+ years in HR & interviewing thousands of people “tell me about yourself, what do you like/not like, how did you get HERE from THERE”….I just love hearing people’s stories (most think - I don’t have a story - but we all do and we are all interesting in our own way).
Denise another great painting day for sure, I ove the colours in this one and the way you added the mark making, this invokes the art of Paul Klee as well. I could see this in a square box frame mounted centrally so it's floating. This piece also made me think of retro wall paper design as well or retro ceramic patterns, and I like the soft organic grid like look of it too. (matt)
So glad you enjoyed this one!! I still love it and it would be fantastic framed floating!! Thank you! 🥰
Posca ochre pen for the win! Loved those dots in the middle! (And Kuretake gold, of course!)
That was a good choice!! Thank you! 🥰
GORGEOUS ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥰
Love everything about this, Denise. The color palette is me. There’s a whimsy about it that is very appealing. Gold circles for the win. Speaking of gold, I’m vacationing on the coast and brought minimal supplies this time so that meant a trip to my favorite art store. They had Senneiier acrylic paints in a tube so I thought I would buy one, in addition to about, oh, 50 stencils (nah, just kidding). Couldn’t decide which color to get so I got….GOLD. Thanks for your inspiration to get it out and play today. I can see when I go home for a visit, I will have to bring more supplies back.
Fun!! A trip to your favorite art store on vacation... makes the vacation much better!! Have fun! Thank you! 🥰
I was at my local hospital yesterday and noticed an abstract/intuitive wall hanging. It was painted on quilted fabric in (I believe) acrylic, and it was lovely. As I studied it, I noticed the artist had used many of the techniques and elements that Denise teaches/uses--textural marks in the paint, Asemic writing, squiggle line work, dots, etc. It was fun to see these and recognize that I knew a tiny bit about the creative process. 😊😊😊
That is so cool... I find myself looking at others art and seeing the details like that too!! Thank you! 🥰
That's awesome
Beautiful…Can’t wait to try this!
Hands up all you that dragged the toilet roll centre out of the bin. 🤪🤪 Guilty🤪
