  • In this video, we will explore creating atmospheric landscapes with interesting marks and pops of gold. We’ll be using a variety of supplies, including watercolor and mica ink, we will experiment with easy techniques and interesting marks to add depth and dimension to our artwork. (This is a video I made for another project earlier this year that I can now add to UA-cam!)
    *Supplies I'm using in this video:

Happy Birthday!

    When you put out the green gold I thought “no…don’t do it”. You didn’t hear me so you went ahead and did it anyway. Stunning! I guess it takes lots of experience to make those unusual colour combos. These are more minimal than several you have done, limited media and they are just gorgeous. By the way, do you have any idea how much you have cost me? I’m watching your videos and I have to pause them and head right over to Amazon to add to my stash. It’s a snow day today and I have all my brand new Art Nouveau water colours, 9 x 12 pads, sponges, stencils and yummy gold paints, oh and water soluble crayons. What a fun couple of weeks it has been. I have only painted one watercolour in my life, flowers from a learn watercolour book, but these abstracts are right up my street.

    • @2lilowlsstudio
      @2lilowlsstudio  5 місяців тому +1

      Haha.. I have a love/hate relationship with green gold.. sometimes it works and sometimes not.. I think I love the name more than anything 🤣... I'm addicted to fun art supplies and acquiring more... and experimenting with them... so I'm definitely no help if you are trying not to get more. 😁

    So inspiring! I love watching your videos. For markmaking over watercolors or acrylics, I love to use heavy body acrylic paint and my debit card. I slide the edge through the paint then use it to get random straight lines in my mixed media pieces. I sometimes create a fan by keeping the corner of the card in the same place and moving the card a few degrees.

    Using my husband's computer right now (Rani here instead of Max).

And according to what I read below, I'm not the only one thinking so. Hah! Love the colors you used today. I have been taking watercolor classes at our community college and am loving learning about the interplay of water with the pigments. Really enjoying using water-soluble graphite (thanks to you!). Have you tried the Richeson metallic graphite? Leaves a lovely sparkle. Also...your birthday today--is that correct? 🎂
