I Tried Watercolor with Collage & Charcoal…And Ruined It at the End!

In this video, I’m combining watercolor, collage, and charcoal pencil in one mixed media artwork—just to see if it ends up beautiful…or a total disaster.

🎨 From layering transparent watercolor washes to adding torn paper textures and finishing with bold charcoal details, you’ll see the entire process step by step.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or just curious about mixed media, you’ll learn tips, materials, and ideas you can try in your own art practice.

✨ Materials Used:

Watercolor paints (Schmincke)

Hot press watercolor paper

Gel medium and collage scraps

Charcoal pencil (Derwent)
