PT. 1Abstract Painting - Mixed Media Magic : Watercolor, PanPastel & Pastel Pencils on UART

This month, join me as I take you on a creative journey into the world of mixed media! I'll be demonstrating how to seamlessly blend watercolor, PanPastel, and pastel pencils on the versatile UART 600 Ivory Sanded Pastel Paper—a perfect surface for layering and creating vibrant, textured works of art.

🌟 This Week's Focus: I'll be diving into an abstract painting with a playful, loose approach. Watch as I combine watercolor and soft pastels on the UART 600 paper to create a layered, colorful composition. I’ll start by demonstrating a smaller watercolor base layer on a separate piece (since it needs drying time) and then move on to adding depth and details using PanPastel and pastel pencils.

I’ll also explain why UART 600 Sanded Pastel Paper is ideal for combining these mediums, allowing for rich layers and smooth blending. The result is a dynamic interplay between the vibrant transparency of watercolor and the bold, textured layers of soft pastels.

It’s a fun and exciting way to bring two beautiful mediums together—don’t miss out!
