Painting

Creative Abstract Painting!

I was inspired by this amazing book, Creative Abstract Watercolor by Kate Rebecca Leach. It really is a fun and inspiring abstract method! I chose a few coordinating colors and used my watercolor art journal. I wet the paper with plain water in larges stripes, then dropped in color. Let some of the colors bleed into eachother to create connections.

I dropped in a second layer to make the colors more bold.

When that dries, I added details with a white gel pen and black Micron. I also added some Winsor & Newton gold! I then used this design to create wallpaper and fabric at Spoonflower!
