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.

    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! ❤️

    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.

    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 🫶🇦🇺🦘

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.

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. 😊😊😊
