Day 7: Art Recipe Abstracts - Create Festive Mini Artworks!

For Day 7 of our Artful Holidays event, I’m diving into the Creative Holiday Art Recipes to create three mini abstracts! Using Faber-Castell watercolor markers, stencils, and markers, I explore one of the seasonal recipes and show you how to bring these ideas to life. Watch along to see the process, get inspired by the techniques, and learn how you can use the art recipes to create your own unique holiday-inspired pieces.

Thank you! 😊

[@crunchypickles99]

Wooooo yes these are indeed the bomb! I love gold on everything too! When I work with polymer clay I outline everything with gold embossing powder! 😆 I especially love that one with the awesome pink and Moroccan lamps!!! 😍

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Oooh! Gold embossing powder! 😍😍😍 I love a bit of gold touches too!! These were fun! So glad you loved it! 🤗🤗🤗

So glad you loved it! 🤗🤗🤗

[@yovamccoy2806]

Thank you! I missed this longer video last Sunday. This was neat seeing a watercolor marker and the stencil paste. I didn't know stencil paste existed. I loved today's stencils. It was great to see a recipe as a jumping off point. We are going to have a nice little book of ideas at the end.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Hopefully all these videos make up for the short one! All the rest coming are longer! 😁🤗🎨

[@RoseRivera-ed5qf]

Lovely as always! 😊

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@bjustbee]

Gorgeous!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@SusansColorfulExpressions]

Those markers look like fun. I have some Tombows. I need to experiment with them in this style.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

They are fun! Hope the tombow ones work! I haven’t tried this with those. ☺️

[@mikemelissaporter]

❤

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

[@lindabarnett7653]

~~~art recipes~~neat idea!!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

So glad you like the idea! 🤗

[@maryparsons1873]

FYI the markers have 2 lines, the thicker one corresponds to the larger brush, I ALWAYS uncover the wrong end…..every time! lol

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Really? I never noticed that! 😂 Now I’ll have to check that out! Thank you! 🤗

[@sheilaschmid7768]

Today you had me laughing super loud, so loud my husband needed to check on me😂😅….I love love the ideas this video sparked. I’m thinking I’ll go play and maybe paint some gift tags ??!!??😎

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I’m so glad you loved it! I'm loving the idea of gift tags, that's perfect! 🤗

[@Amrit_Sunshine]

These activate with the water so nicely! I’ve got Stadetler watercolour brush pens and you can’t blend them out this well. They were quite disappointing to be honest! Will have to check these ones out. Thanks ❤

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I was also disappointed in the staedtler ones! I agree. These do work better. They are dark though. ☺️

[@jehuckphoto]

Do you mind me asking what size your three taped down pieces are? Thanks.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

1/3 of the 9x12 paper! ☺️

[@sashahedges1508]

You have forgotten to use your stencil brushes that you bought or where these filmed before you bought them as I know how you are so organised! lol x

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Oh yeah - these were filmed weeks ago. I just got those brushes. I work ahead - so I have videos all the way through January done while I work on other projects. Might be February before those come out 😂🤗🎨
