Watercolor Sampler: Organic Abstract Shapes with Mark Making

[@Kate-sp1vx6vz9z]

The Quinacridone Deep Gold was just exactly the bright note this piece needed. Like lemon juice on salmon, it just made everything more yummy.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

It really did make the best pop of color!! Thank you! 🥰

[@Lainers2000]

Watched twice just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Love the pop of color with the Quinacridone Gold. It WAS a good paint day, Denise. A big ol’ hug to you,🤗.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I ended up loving that pop of color too. This palette ended up better than I thought it would! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@bonnerdebbie]

Awesome paint day, love it Denise. Thank you!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗

[@crunchypickles99]

I'm loving all these circle paintings too! They rock!!!! 😍🤩

[@2lilowlsstudio]

These circle ones have been some of my favorite! They are fun to do in any color palette, playing with different supplies! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@robingoff322]

So fun Denise! I agree with you about the hand made papers….they’re art by themselves….but if the back is “boring” I think it is a good idea to do something on a different paper and glue that piece to the “boring” backside. I love these mindful video series!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Definitely going to evaluate those when I get further and see if I want to add bits on top of those pretty papers - or in the backside. I think the back of some of those will need something. 🤗

[@jlm517rocks]

ii love how you begin with the end in mind & bridge the two with joy... well done!!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

It was easier to visualize things in my mind with photography - every time I got where I had planned to go… with the art… I’ve let go of that expectation and sometimes we get there… and sometimes we don’t … I’m always a bit surprised where a piece ends up! 😂 Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@catherineminor5323]

Thanks, Denise!! Love that !! Always enjoy watching you work!!😍😍😍

[@2lilowlsstudio]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🥰

[@maryspringer1442]

Love your excitement! Those colors are amazing!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you so much!! 🤗

[@scrapbagstudios]

Love your version of this colour palette., especially the Quin Gold. That really makes it pop. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

This turned out so much better than I thought it would when I was painting those colors! Thank you! 🥰

[@nathalieheath5693]

Orange gold and blue❤❤❤ my favorite combo! Yummm

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I love it more than I thought I would with this one! Thank you! 🥰

[@shirleylittle3485]

So excited to try painting in my journal which arrived yesterday 😊🎉

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Hope you enjoy it! 🤗🤗🤗

[@LMAbstractArt]

Fun and creative! Lovely color combo 💜

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

[@luzartworks]

You use really wonderful colours, I especially love the orange and it's better than the colour on the swatch... Good to choose your own colours in the midst of the process.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

These ended up better than I thought they would! It was a fun set. Thank you! 🥰

[@kristinaperinot7544]

LOVE ❤it. TFS

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

[@charmainewagner-bell2764]

Your piece looks so textured ❤

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I love seeing the texture you can get in your piece with the different mediums!! 🤗

[@sabloempie]

LOVE it!! You got me hooked on watercolour and Color Cubes,which just arrived in my mailbox last evening here in a drowsy cold Belgium.Whoop whoop.🤗🤗🤗

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Whoo hoo! Have fun!! 🎨 Thank you! 🥰

[@UFOS4]

Beautiful composition. Good eye, Denise.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I really enjoy these type of abstracts! Thank you! 🥰

[@heatherdunbar421]

Love the circles and swirl marks. Colors are stunning 😍 are those the art toolkit palettes?

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰 Yes - those are the Art toolkit palettes. I love how slim they are and how much paint they hold!

[@suzannefellows491]

I really adore the Q-Gold 🎉🎉

[@2lilowlsstudio]

It was a surprising color in this one! I ended up loving it! Thank you! 🥰

[@yovamccoy2806]

Thank you for showing and explaining the difference between hot press the hot press page and a previous cold press page. The Quinacridone Gold became a focal point. Then you worked it into the eye movement you wanted, which toned down the color. I enjoy listening to your thoughts as the piece progresses. A couple of weeks ago, I saw the Zig Acrylic Liner available again on your artist page at Sketchbox. I snapped up the box it was in. Somehow I lost my first one.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

They have those past boxes on sale now for their Black Friday sale for $15… that’s a good deal on those boxes. So glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you! 🥰

[@lynnhurdus2512]

Love it. Hugs to you.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@sheilagilleland4312]

Hello Denise, I’ve been busy getting ready to move. Just Packing at this point but I haven’t had much time to paint! Today I’m paining! 😂🎉🎉

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Yay! Everyone needs a little paint break!! 🎨🎨🎨 good luck with the move! 🤗

[@dleigh4534]

Hey Denise do you have a tip for getting the gold ink into the fine liner? I do get so excited when I get notified of a new post from you! Cause I know I'm going to like it & be inspired by it.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I use a pipette. Easy to just suck some ink into pipette and discharge it in the fineline bottle. You could also use a little funnel - but that is messier I think. Thank you! 🥰

[@dleigh4534]

@2lilowlsstudio oh my gosh I can't believe I didn't think of that!!! 😂 thank you!

[@timh7246]

straight ink in the fineliner, or did u water it down a tad to make the flow easier? thanks in advance for replying. I LOVE almost everything you present -- along with your enthusiasm & encouragement!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

@@timh7246Thank you! 🥰 I did not water the ink down. The spout lets the ink flow pretty fast, so too thin might be totally uncontrollable. 😊

[@timh7246]

thanks - I hate wasting things via trial & error. thanks to your quick response, now I don't have to! ;-) [ but i DO have to be patient a few days for my Fineliner applicators to arrive]. Thanks again, for all you demo, & for all your details & encouragement.

[@fhcreates]

What are the art palettes? I didn’t seem to see them in the list of supplies😊

[@2lilowlsstudio]

It’s the art toolkit palettes - arttoolkit.com/
