Quick Abstract Seascapes

If you'd like to learn more about my new class Mixed Media Collage and the Intuitive Landscape, you can find info here:
www.marabethquinart.com/intui...
Using a piece of mixed media paper, I divide it into 6 small squares. I’m using a very limited palette of Flame Orange acrylic ink, a turquoise blue acrylic paint and some black and white acrylic paint for mixing. The objective is to paint quickly, not thinking or planning, and enjoying the process. I chose seascape colors so that I could be less representational, leaving building forms to the imagination of the onlooker. Additional materials were collage papers and pastel.
Have you tried painting in multiples like this? I’d love to hear about it so leave me a comment below and tell me how you like it, and how it has helped you grow as a painter.

A nice product review with examples. I own Lyras, but haven't used them. I really like the lake painting. I appreciate not having music in the background.

It is amazing to see how something that looks like scribbling ends up being 4 beautiful seascapes. I so enjoy your videos.❤

[@marabethquinart]

I know, right?? I’m a little obsessed with finding that line between scribbling and satisfying representation. It’s really my goal much of the time.

[@jillpontiere1814]

Such beautiful quick studies! You've inspired me to get out my trays of collage papers.

[@marabethquinart]

That is awesome! I love that. KZbin is great for being inspired by other artists. 😉

[@tericarter2886]

I love your work and your process How would you frame a mixed media piece that includes soft pastel ?

[@marabethquinart]

Hi Teri! If it's a painting on paper, you could really do either an exposed surface (if it is adequately sealed with Fixative and Varnish) or put it under glass. Either is good, and I think it's always nice to get the advice of a framer too if you're unsure.

[@carolhedberg2341]

Marabeth, I dont understand what you are saying about just making marks or being random. But your work is very compelling, so I'm going to keep watching.

[@marabethquinart]

When I say random marks, I mean just making marks that you have no intention for-they aren’t to represent anything or even meant to be visible in the final painting. You’re just playing really.

[@jillpontiere1814]

I’ve watched this videos so many times! I ordered some of that gray tone paper! Going play when it comes in. I don’t have any alcohol ink, can I water down some orange acrylic? Love these minis. ❤️

[@marabethquinart]

Did I say I was using alcohol ink? 🥴 I meant acrylic ink, but yes, you certainly can water some down and use that. The acrylic ink has more pigment I think but since you’re experimenting, it’s always good to try all sorts of things! Have fun and thanks so much for watching, Jill 😊

[@jillpontiere1814]

@@marabethquinart thanks again!

[@gigicooper1759]

Pl share what pastel brand you use - Ty! Colors are lovely

[@marabethquinart]

I have a really wide and varied assortment-I’ve picked them up here and there so there’s lots of different kinds.
