In this video tutorial, I guide you through the process of creating a beautiful abstract watercolor sampler featuring organic stone shapes. Inspired by techniques from the book Creative Abstract Watercolor book by Kate Rebecca Leach (@essoldodesign on Instagram), this project focuses on using watercolor to form natural, flowing shapes, which are then enhanced with creative markmaking once dry. I demonstrate stepbystep how to build up your composition, play with color, and add depth with marks, resulting in a vibrant, eyecatching sampler. Perfect for anyone looking to experiment with abstract shapes and textures in their watercolor art.
