Easy Watercolor Circles: Create Calm Blue & Green Art in Your Journal
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2024
- In this tutorial, I guide you through creating a relaxing and calming watercolor piece featuring varying sizes of circles in soothing shades of blue and green. I work diagonally across the page in one of my handmade art journals, laying down beautiful watercolor shapes and then coming back in to add unique and interesting mark-making once the paint is dry. This simple and meditative exercise is perfect for anyone looking to unwind while creating abstract art, whether in a journal or on loose paper. Join me as we explore color, shape, and texture in this delightful sampler!

Lovely, Denise! I splattered the Kuretake ink on a circle composition I did recently & it gave me a “cosmic” vibe which I loved. I look forward to your videos- love love love them. I have you to thank for inspiring me to resume a daily practice where I show up to my art table! 🥰
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🥰
You always make these little project looks so carefree and simple! I always stress over what to put on the dag on paper! Love the colors, my favorites!
Sometimes I’m amazed I got something good when I’m done 😂 Thank you! 🥰
I love today's piece. It's very different and will be a neat page to come across when you are flipping through it. It's lovely to see the Ocean Paper set.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Those perfectly imperfect circles!
Thank you! 🥰
Soft colours and beautifully arranged. I really love the overall look of this composition. 💕
Thank you! 🥰
These are my favorite paints. So glad to watch you paint with them ❤
I’ve hesitated pulling them out on TH-cam… they are higher up for the budget and I get flack on expensive things 😂 Thank you! 🥰
A little galaxy! Lovely adventure as always ❤🧡💛
It kinda looks like one doesn’t it! 🪐 Thank you! 🥰
This is beautiful. My favorite part are the smaller circles with the gold circles in them. They look like roses to me.😊
I love those bits too! Thank you! 🥰
Simple yet very lovely.
Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful simplicity! Really love all the white space in this piece. ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Love the color palette!!! Very pretty😊
Thank you! 🥰
These are beautiful. Just up my alley (talent wise).
Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful, I love it. Thanks Denise, I so enjoy your videos!
So glad you enjoyed this one!! Thank you! 🥰
What yummy colors and granulation!!! I love this, especially next to that cool paper beside it! Now I'm wanting a video of your doggies doing some tricks! 😁
Haha! They are so cute! 🐶🐶
Beautiful.
Thank you! 🥰
Such a beautiful harmonious page and it works so well with the other page. Thank you for sharing. xoxo
Glad you like it! Thank you! 🥰
You give me ideas for my doodling and your abstracts are lovely. But yours looks better than mine. Beautiful in simple circles color and the marks used to enhance them. Love your work.
Thank you! 🥰
I’ve really enjoyed the last two videos. Still abstract, but with a little more structure. And the color palettes…chef kiss.
I’ve been having fun with these! So glad you enjoyed them. Thank you! 🥰
Just love your stuff and attitude. :) Thank you!
I appreciate that! Thank you! 🥰
Very nice Denise 😊 It reminds me of planets in a solar system and I’m looking forward to giving this a try! Thank you ❤
It definitely lends itself well to planets! Thank you! 🥰
Great video ♥️ Thank you ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🥰
Oh man, I’ve been wanting to buy these colors and now I think I might have to go do it!
They really are gorgeous! ☺️
Beautiful watercolors. Each one reveals different shades. Love the circles and, of course, the gold. Thank you, Denise, for showing us what watercolors can do. A big ol’ hug to you.🤗
So glad you loved this one!! Thank you! 🥰
OMG, my Ocean Paper orders, notice the s, lol, arrive today. 😆 fyi, I am glad you did your skillshare journal making. I just saw a yt video that all Dina Wakley journals are discontinued. So an alternative is going to be needed. Especially, with different type papers. Now on with today's video. HOLY MOLY!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I drop my mic!❤❤❤
Eeeekkk... you'll love them!! I didn't see that they were all discontinued - bummer!!! I have so many options now with the ones I made that I am set for a while!! ha! 😂
@2lilowlsstudio I have a huge book case of empty journals. I better get crackin. Let's CRACK ON!!! LOL
Love it,love it, love it. Can I try with my teens in the ARTS class??
Sure!! Glad you loved it! Thank you! 🥰
Lovely as always! Have you seen reverse stenciling? You tube artist Krista Robertson, I think that’s her name, created an abstract then used her stencils on them after they dried. She used a damp sponge to rub out the stencil shape on the dried paint. Thought of you when I saw that as you love the new and different techniques!
I’ve seen it! It is cool!! Thank you! 🥰
You have just inspired me to paint the first page in my small art journal. Been working in the middle and leaving the first one blank…fear?
I start in the middle of all of mine too! haha! Thank you! 🥰
every stroke you do is something... first its a tree, then another stroke and its a fence... what I am trying to say is you have the "touch"... I don't know if it is something that only comes naturally or if it is learned... but at this point, you have it...
You’ve really made my day. Thank you! 🥰
I taught my little Yorkiepoo to wipe her feet when she came in. She would only wipe them if they were wet.
Ha! You did? I love that!! they are so smart! 🐶
What little tricks do you do for your cookies? 😮😂❤
😂😂😂
What is that palette you are using
Shadow green is one of my favorite color
Sorry but I love the porcelain palette you’re using. Is it for sale somewhere
That is a palette from Masha’s Watercolors. She makes them and has different ones available in her Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/MashasWatercolors
