Abstract art using watercolour and paint mediums

#abstractart #watercolor #mixedmedia
I use mixed media to create abstract art.
I have used watercolour mediums to create patterns with and manipulate the watercolour paint.
I have used acrylic texture gels and mediums to distort the finish of the watercolours.
The mediums are from ‪@winsornewton‬
I was very happy with how much more exciting, enjoyable and easier it was to use the watercolours with mediums.
I hope you enjoy.

It's always fun hanging out with you. I drank my morning tea and made a few little scrappy journals as I watched your video. Thanks for keeping me company.

Thanks apple. I’ve been on the missing list lately but I’ve been doing a lot of painting, which I’m less capable with so it’s harder to video them. Hope you’re well 🥰

Thanks Tricia, I don’t quite know where I’m going currently but it’s a bit up and down. Definitely not in my comfort zone!!!

@@quirkyqueens keep at it! I’ve never worked with watercolors, but this is great!

Your experimental use and combination of watercolour and mediums is next level - very interesting! I agree on letting the watercolour flow to get unique results to work with. Thanks for the "duck person"...🤗👍

Hi Mara, I see people in shapes all the time, I think it’s the curvy lines. I was listening to draftsmen most recent podcast (on YT). They were discussing Reilly method and the curbing of the lines creating rhythm. It was very interesting (I’ve only recently discovered them). I’m liking the mediums, it adds that exciting aspect like the gel plate has (moving things about, textures, etc). 😁😎

Very lovely! Love your accent and clear explanations.

Hi onna, thank you!!! I took a leap of faith with this as I didn’t tone it down to suit what I perceived people want to see. Your comment means a lot!!! I really like using mediums, pastes etc. I really like how they can change how the paint behaves.

It must have been something about the medium used there bc usually there is no problem wh putting masking fluid over watercolor. As long as it's really dry anyway. ❤

[@quirkyqueens]

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for this info. I’ve never used the masking fluid before so this is very helpful to know. I really liked using the mediums. I think it was probably not dry enough. It was touch dry but I think an overnight dry would have been my best bet. ❤️
