Transform Your Art: Easy Abstract Watercolor Landscapes Anyone Can Do!

In this video, I explore how combining Schmincke watercolors with Derwent Inktense blocks and pencils can create loose, expressive abstract watercolor landscapes. I show what actually happens when you layer wet and dry media and how it affects color, texture, and depth.

This video is for creative beginners and intermediate artists who feel stuck with flat or overworked watercolor pieces and want to loosen up, experiment more, and create expressive nature-inspired art.

You’ll see how I layer watercolor washes, when and why I switch to Inktense for bold contrast, and how the final mixed media piece comes together with texture and depth, so you can decide if this approach fits your next painting session.
