Watercolor Sampler: Organic Rectangles and Creative Mark Making

[@elizabethtowler7811]

Lovely together! When you flip through your book to see the rest of the work it all looks so beautiful. Excited to see your next mindful creation!

[@Lainers2000]

Yes! These pages look great together. Love how you just add a little water to get the granulation for more depth to the color. A big ol’ hug for you🤗!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I love how the water does that too!! So glad you loved this piece! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@linda8421]

I love the color pallette...both look beautiful together. Denise, I may go weeks (read: sometimes closer to months) not feeling the groove to paint...when I do, I always come back to you first for that added push and marvelous inspiration...you are so appreciated 🥰

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! I am so glad to be a part of your creative process! 🤗🤗🤗

[@priscillalabranche5203]

The two sides look so good together!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

[@debradiver5768]

I Really enjoyed this session Denise. You seemed relaxed and at ease with what you were doing. Confident. I really like the granulation effects. It turned out nice and I'm excited to try it. Have a great day.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@dleigh4534]

Look at THAT!! 💚💜💙

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

Hi Denise! These two pieces look so good together, and I think it’s interesting to look at because you’ve got the circles on one side and the rectangles and squares on the other. The dirty greens and purples look so good together ❤

[@2lilowlsstudio]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@sandrift]

This!

[@Kate-sp1vx6vz9z]

What a lovely reveal! These two pieces complement each other so well. Those paints are gor-gee-ous. 🤤

[@doloresparra4604]

Beautiful outcome! I love using the color box.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I love using it too! Thank you! 🥰

[@TheTalljules]

Beautiful! Sometimes “just enough” is perfect. I tend to overdo. I am teaching myself that more isn’t always more. (but sometimes it can be). I am such a waffler. 😀

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Haha! I go through phases… sometimes more… sometimes less… just go with it! 🤗🤗🤗

[@pamgrover9910]

Fun exercise,very relaxing

[@2lilowlsstudio]

[@libbykloap4494]

I really enjoyed watching this and may try something like it!!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

You should definitely try it! 🤗

[@marjorieclinton6780]

I am so excited and appreciate your inspiration. As I just purchased this wonderful book, I plan on using my very first dedicated sketchbook end my Kuratake paints, to practice thess terrific lessons. Again I thank you for sharing your creations.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

You'll love doing some of these! That is a fantastic book to work from!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@GrandJan46]

Love it as always.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great paint paring, thanks Denise!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I'm glad you liked the colors! Thank you! 🤗

[@SusansColorfulExpressions]

One of my favorite color combinations is Daniel Smith's Amethyst Genuine and Perylene Green. These remind me of the abstracts I've made with them.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Those are some great colors! I love the Daniel Smith colors! 😊

[@SusansColorfulExpressions]

@@2lilowlsstudio The abstracts I made with them came from one of your Skillshare classes.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Oh cool!! 🤗

[@shirleylittle3485]

Wow don’t they look amazing together. Haven’t had a try in my Dina Wakeley book yet. Am thinking of trying to make my own with your inspiration, thank you.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

You'd love having a book you make yourself! I love being able to choose the paper inside! 😊

[@Colleen1978]

Love it!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Hugho59]

Perfect!

Thank you! 🥰

[@CynthiaDiamond-vg4yb]

Beautiful and inspiring. One of my favorite color pallets. Where is the video for the circles? Thanks so much for everything

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! You can find the circle one just before this on in the color palette play list and the sketchbook playlist!

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

Hmmmm 😍🥰😍

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Thank you! 🥰

[@freezo244]

The color box idea is interesting. Since you’re matching colors from your paint box to the palette on the card, doesn’t it discourage mixing colors to create color unity?

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I like to think of it as a jumping-off point. You can definitely mix colors! 🤗

[@freezo244]

@@2lilowlsstudioyeah, I can see that! Thanks!

[@freezo244]

The colors of this palette are really interesting. Love the color cards?

[@2lilowlsstudio]

@@freezo244 I do love the color cards. Gives me a direction to head and experiment with. Challenging me to work with colors I might not normally pick. I have had lots of surprising results and palettes I would go back to!

[@mariedunn3774]

Tell me more about the creative abstract watercolor book! I haven’t been able to tune in for a bit, looks like I missed out on that.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

You’ll love that book! I’ve done several videos on it. Such a good one to have and work through!! 🤗

[@mariedunn3774]

@ Found it on Amazon, looks great!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

@@mariedunn3774I link everything below the video for you!

[@jkellyfamily9]

Denise, have you ever used any color shaping tools for mark making with your gold ink? I bought one for use for mark making with acrylic but am anxious to know if it would work with that beautiful mica ink.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Sure! You can easily push that ink around. Give it a go and experiment with it!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@rankinstudios5342]

Lovely. Do you have a discount code for the Color Cubes???

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I’ve never seen them discount the color cubes. Those are such a good price for what you get too. I printed some color palettes I made from my own photography and I spent $40 for 25 cards. Those cubes give you 250 in each box! I love them.
