Abstract Watercolor Exercise – Pigment Playtime

Hi everybody! I’m sharing another new fun watercolor session in my sketchbook today. I love playing with color palettes in my dedicated color journal. Today I am putting together a color palette based on some of my recent art journal pages

Before we start I’d like to remind you on the amazing workshop Wanderlust 2027 – Seasons Edition! Amongst 40 amazing artist I am able to share a lesson and I am super proud to be part of that! I’d be happy to see you in class next year! All information is available on the Wanderlust website!

Playing with watercolors is one of the most relaxing things you can do. And great is, that it’s not very messy. I love watching the pigments move around, bleeding and feathering in the water. Its always a little surprise to see how the paint does its own thing. In today’s tutorial I am using colors I used already on two of my latest art journal pages. Scroll down for today’s play video:

An artist's workspace featuring a colorful abstract painting on a sketchbook page, surrounded by various art supplies including watercolors, brushes, and pens.

Many of the supplies I use, are available at Craftelier (de), Craftelier (uk), Craftelier (es). It’s one of my favourite shops for art materials as they have a big range, good prices and reasonable shipping costs (free on order over 60€).
I also have all my favourite Materials collected on my Amazon storefront. These are all affiliate links, you don’t pay more, but I get a small amount back. Thank you!

Enjoy watching the process:
