About This Class

Feeling overwhelmed again? I have an idea: Let’s paint!

Welcome to Abstract Watercolor Escape – Part 2, your next creative getaway where neurographic lines meet flowing watercolor washes... and stress gently exits the building.

Hi, I’m Fatih—watercolor artist, online teacher, and expert in turning stress into squiggly lines and puddles of color. When life feels too much (hello emails, errands, existential dread), I sit down and paint these calming abstract pieces. And not only does it help me chill, but they also look super pretty afterwards. Win-win!

What We’ll Do:

In this second installment, we’ll explore a fresh neurographic design, starting with a slightly used page (yes, we’re saving paper as well as our sanity), drawing mindful lines, and then layering it all with vivid, expressive watercolor.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to create neurographic line art (again, but with a twist)

  • A meditative approach to drawing flowing shapes

  • Watercolor techniques to bring your drawing to life

  • How to feel productive while relaxing

Who This Class Is For:

  • Anyone who needs a break from life’s chaos

  • People who enjoyed the first class and want more

  • Aspiring abstract artists who don’t know where to start

  • You, if your brush has been giving you guilt trips lately

What You’ll Need:

  • Watercolor paper

  • Watercolors

  • Waterproof pen

  • Brush

  • Water + paper towel

  • Hunger for creativity

Join me for this relaxed, soothing session. Nothing is sped up—you’ll paint along with me, and by the end, you’ll have something beautiful and feel a whole lot better.

Don’t forget to share your painting in the class project gallery—along with what was stressing you out... and whether this helped even a little.

Let’s be creative. Let’s be kind to ourselves. Let’s escape.

Hey, I'm Fab! I'm an artist, online teacher, and productivity nerd who believes that everyone can draw (and everyone can make time for it too!)

I've been painting with watercolors for 13 years and working as an independent artist for 9. My main creative practice is documenting daily life with my watercolor sketch journals, creating abstract watercolor paintings or experimenting with something new that I saw 10 minutes ago. (sorry not sorry emoji)

Over the years, I've learned a ton of tips and tricks, and I love sharing them with others. Here is one of them: Art isn't about perfection, it's about the journey. So stop overthinking it and just pick up the brush!

But I also know that life gets busy, and finding time for creativity isn't always easy. That's why ... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Introduction to Abstract Watercolor Escape part 2: I'm back with the second installment of Abstract Watercolor Escape, and I'm determined to make you relax. Hi, my name is Fati, a watercolor artist and online teacher from Warsaw, Poland. When I'm stressed, when I need to chill, when I have a free afternoon, I make these beautiful watercolor paintings with neurographic arts, and it totally works. And later on, they are super pretty to look at. Win win abstract watercolor escape is, well, an escape. For half an hour, 40 minutes, you can forget about your worries and focus on connecting the lines and making these organic flowing shapes. When you combine this with watercolor, the results are delicious. You will practice your line drawing as well as your watercolor mixing skills while unwinding at the end of a long day. I want to make these classes. This is class number two because these paintings really help me relax and be mindful while feeling very productive. So if I can make any of you stop from doom scrolling and grab a brush, that's my reward. This class is for anyone who is looking for a relaxing, meditative art practice to unwind at the end of the day. But besides these benefits, this class is a great way to enter the world of abstract painting. We will use watercolors, watercolor paper, waterproof pen, and brush pens during the class. In this episode, first, we will save a slightly used paper with neurographic art, and then we will paint our creation with watercolors. The painting we are going to make today. Nothing is sped up, so you can draw alongside me and end up with a painting of yours at the end of the class. After that, take a photo and share it in the class project gallery. Write down what's stressing you and if you are able to forget about it for a few minutes. This is it, people. Let's go and create something beautiful. What? Jack says This is too intense for a class claiming to be relaxing. So I will try my soothing words. Let me get my microphone. If you are ready, please come in, and let's be creative while relaxing. Don't touch anything. The next video will start automatically. See you there. 2. Class Project aka. Teacher's Expectations: Video is recording, too. The rain is starting to slow down so we can continue. It's raining outside and it makes us up noises. Class project, class project, class project. Let's take a zip. Your class project is to draw and paint alongside me and then share what you have. Follow these steps. Make your nographic art following my instructions. Pick a color palette and paint your creation. While waiting for your painting to dry, go and leave me a review. Take a photo of your painting, create a new project under this class. Upload your photo to your class project. Be mindful that the first photo you add to your class project gets cropped horizontally as the cover. Write down your cause of stress and how you felt during the class. Press publish. Put your sunglasses on like a boss. Walk into the sunset in slow motion while feeling extremely accomplished and product. This is it. See you in the materials with you. 3. Materials: Watercolors, A Brush and Some Luck: Like I mentioned before, Jack, did I mentioned this before? You are saying you're not sitting in my brain. Okay, fair enough. Yes, this is the second part of the O series, abstract watercolor escape. Materials are exactly the same. But in case there are first time students here and for the sake of making a standalone class, here is the materials video. If you took the first class, you can skip to the next video. Otherwise, here are the materials I use. So quickly, let's go through what I'm going to use for this class materials. I'm going to use watercolor paper from Tiger. This is not even an art shop. This is like a kind of everything shop is from Denmark, I think. Yeah, 200 gram No, 300 grams sorry, 300 gram acid free watercolor paper. It's 18 to 24 centimeters. I don't know what that makes in inches, but it is smaller than A four, and it is a bit of a texture. And I like that. My watercolors, KaratakeKs tambi. I'm going to use my set. These are all the colors from Kartake I have. Other than that I'm going to use this brush pen. I think this is the brand Pigma. And this is also waterproof. It has to be because we're going to draw first and then paint with waters. I'm going to use this fabric castle 0.5. It's not too thin, not too thick, it's good for this project. I have other ones that I use, but I find this 0.5 is the idea. I'm going to use this brush number 12, Renaissance brand, I don't know. I just like the color and boat of the Internet ones. I have my water jars here, one for clean, one for dirty water, and a bit of a kitchen towel, paper towel always useful in case of messes and some mess and mistakes. What else? Is there anything else? I think that's it. So, other than that, I use the spray bottle to spray my paints and this eyedropper to drop some extra water on them before I use them. This is all. I'm going to see you with the drawing part of the lesson. See you later? No, not see later. See you in a moment, like, after this, the other video will start. See you next there. Don't go anywhere. We're gonna draw and paint. It will be awesome. See ya. 4. The Idea: Why This Neurographic Art Project?: And this is Hello, and welcome to second episode of Abstract Watercolor Escape. We're going to escape today some new places. These are some of the examples that I did over time. And when I first started doodling with these that I was doing actually in the meantime, lots of Nior sketch turning. And you know that already, if you watch my NI for sketching classes. And the same way that working on small piece of paper really actually helps. It's easy to complete and you can see what you like, what you don't like on the small papers. Because they are quickly done, and you can experiment on different shapes and different thickness, different thickness of pen, and different color combinations and see what actually suits your fancy. And in similar style, then later on, I made pots side. I made these ones. And I actually really liked them that part of me wasn't sure if I should continue with this or like you saw in the first class, the one I made, I will show you this one. I wanted to go with this one for the first class because this was a bit more evolved, let's say, on my Mm artistic journey. This was a bit more after I found what I like and what I don't like. And this was a pleasing result. And for the first class, I wanted something that I am very proud of. I'm proud of these too. This doesn't mean that, but just this was a bit somehow closer to my heart. So I want to start the first class with this and grab people's ice with this painting and so that they would come to class and take part in it. But in the meantime, when I try to categorize the way I do this no graphic art and abstract watercolors, that there is also this, this how it separates from this one, that in here you can see this is not wet and wet, that I make the shape, the design with pens and brush pens. The neurographic art. After that, I go on the dry paper. That's why there are much more contrast, that this is much more fluid and paint is kind of going everywhere, flowing. But in here, it's not like that, and I like too. This is something else, something else pretty to look at. And so I want to make this class with this different technique. It will we will go on dry paper, and of course, when we are adding watercolors, for example, as you can see, this is a bit like you could think like Mondrian, that white canvas and the thick black lines and in every section, there's a different color. So it has that kind of feeling from abstract point of view. But in the meantime, when I'm adding the colors to the sections, I'm not thinking that this is one circle, so I'm going to do one circle. I'm just taking every section as it is so that it gets even more abstract this way because it's difficult to see that there is a circle here, for example, but it's all divided. There's another circle here and here, so that they kind the shapes become more fluid in this way because then with the color distribution, using the color description differently, we reach different results. In this one, you can see that the color orange, red was radiating from the circle and that's very obvious and visible. But in here, it's not so much. I like this one as well, and I think it's a good practice for you guys to do and have it in your portfolio. So today we're going to do this. This is going to be let's say main. It's not going to be the same, not like in this class, I made almost the same design. It will be similar, I think, but not exactly the same because I'm also going to use paper I start already using. There are some lines on it, and I also want to do this to show that I don't like wasting paper and also you shouldn't so we will start with something already with a paper that already has some lines on it. So that way, it will be a little bit different. But I'm going to use a similar palette. These blues and greens. And what else? Because of the way you do, your speed kind of determines how much wet on wet action is going to happen. That, for example, if you apply paint here or here, and then you apply right next to it, this will be wet on wet, but only in here. So the white sections will still stay white and it will give lots of contrast. But every now and then there will be. So it won't be like the entire painting is like in this one on wet on wet so everything is flowing into each other. So it will be less predictable. Like when an observer is looking at your painting, it would like, Oh, in here, colors are flowing. Oh, but in here, there's such a cut line and the colors are separated. So it's not always the same everywhere you look, and I think that's also interesting in a painting. In here, let's say that this one and this one will be maybe I will use purple as well because I like the color combo on this one, too. And you can see in here, it's wet on wet, it's bleeding into the indigo leading into the mint color and same you can see here with purple and here as well. We will see a different way of using and applying paint to a painting and ending up with a different results still with neurographic arts. Since that out of today, let's get started. Sorry, I'm sorting my paintings. I'm gonna keep these ones handy here. Let's put these aside. You're not using the paintings here at all, so they can be here. Here are my circle making stuff. And this is the paper we are going to use today, and it's already a little bit used as you can see, but that's okay. You can see lines aren't perfect. In some places, it's repeating twice. But I wanted to use this one to show you that even if your first lines aren't very confident and not like you wanted, it will be okay. Just trust the process. Keep doing, keep connecting the joints and it will be fine. 5. Drawing: Creating Our Design with Neurographic Art: And so let's start with a few circles that my favorite my favorites but objects to use or making circles is my tape. As you can see, I never put right in the center or like this because asymmetric shapes, asymmetric compositions are more interesting to look at. And I guess that also depends on people, but I find that it is more interesting when it's asymmetrical. And we already have two circles. Let's see. What else? I'm going to put. I want a nice junction of lots of lines happening here, so I will put one like this. And then you have two of the same, if you use the same size circles next to each other, very close, that you can get very cool geometrical shapes. Sorry, I hit my microphone. Like a crescent moon happening there. But again, don't focus on that because there will be more lines going through in a second. And let's some smaller ones and see where we are with that and one like this, maybe. Another one. Here I always like putting smaller circles over the big ones like this. Mm. We need something here, too, because at the end, we're gonna leave some white ones, white space. This is a very big white space. I need to break that a bit. Mm Let's get even a bigger circle maker and slice that through. In here, I purposefully made it there just touching. Maybe put a quarter of a circle here. But then it will too similar to this one, I think, maybe maybe more like this. As you can see, I'm avoiding to make it symmetrical. And one more here, just barely touching this one. Okay. And, VPs already lots of circles. But this time, I also want to as a difference than the previous class that I want to put more swirls just by hand. I'm first thinking where should I go? How should I do? That they don't have to be perfect. Later on, you're going to add more weight to these lines, which means you'll make them thicker and you'll have a chance to make them more circular or make them leaner, you'll have a chance. And I feel like something around here. Your paper shouldn't move while you're drawing. That's what happened to me now. And this mistake, we'll later on hide it. Okay, so now our shape is ready. We can start connecting the joints and making all the heart angles disappear. This is the part. As I was mentioning before, I love. That this is for me the therapeutic part of this practice. I just lets go of everything and just focus on the lines and finding all the joints and make the hard corners go away. Also, as you can see, at the beginning, there were these lines that they don't even visible now. They are completely mixed in. This line will be probably thicker later and I will pretend that it already is. Lots of lines are connecting here. I'm trying to focus on trying to see all of them. I guess this is the part that really occupies your brain, so you are able to I'm able to forget everything else for a little while be here, and this is the escape part that I put it in the name of my class. From the previous class, you know how these connections go. I'm not going very much into that in the previous class. The design, the composition we used didn't have that many of these connections. And that was also on purpose. I wanted this class to be rather quick. And this is the time consuming part of this kind of art. And also, because of that, it's the good part that's where supposed to happen that you fill your time with this and you are able to relax and unwind. And that's why it's time consuming, in a way, it's good. But also when I'm making a class, there are the realities of the length, for example, and the size of the videos and so on. So I wanted the first class to be not so heavy. Like, just more like introduction. And in here, I chose to go back to this one because chronologically, I was making these ones first, because I think it's also important for you to practice and here now, since I already hooked you in to this with first class, that now I can drag even further. As you can see, it's growing pretty quickly. We will fill them in no time. Mm hmm. As you can see, I'm using 0.7. It's rather thick thin. And I'm not worrying too much if old lines are a line that in case something is out of line, we can always fix it later when we are filling it and making the lines thicker. That one between the three of them when there's a shape, like, it's create like a pebble shape, I really like these ones. I like making these. That this morning, actually, I was in my mind, going to make a totally different class, totally different painting because I was planning to move on to the masking tapes because that's also really fun fun practice, a fun way to create these abstract paintings. And that's still coming. But looking at the paintings I have and the notes I have taken earlier, it brought me back to the reality that, Okay, I shouldn't skip this this also has to happen. And we will get to the masking tape soon enough. Just keep connecting the joints and thrust process. Right now, don't worry if the kitchen is full of dirty dishes. If the laundry basket is full, if the garden needs tidying up, they're not going anywhere. They will still here when you finish the moment, let all of that go, and let's just enjoy making art. That's what I'm doing. Because I'm in my studio attic downstairs, the kitchen is waiting for me. And when I finish this, I will go and do that still, but I'll be much happier, knowing that I took care of myself first. I put myself first. And now I can take care of the kitchen. I even don't call it cleaning the kitchen or doing the dishes. We were once talking about with my wife and it came out as that it was, you know, in my jump class, I talk about it that calling work work is actually not good for your brain because you are putting yourself off from doing the work. So I start calling them jumps. I'm just going to do one jump, two jumps, and that's where the idea came from. And I thought I could use the same for doing the kitchen. And Ws I started calling. I was thinking, what could I call? What could I call cleaning, doing? And I called it tickling. So whenever we are talking and, like, planning the day or something, I said, Oh, I still need to tickle the kitchen or after I finish, I just tickle the kitchen. It took an hour. So after I finish my painting here, I'm going to go and tickle the kitchen. But for now, I'm really enjoying this. U you should experiment and see if you like the connections smaller like this one or bigger. In my opinion, bigger ones make the hard corners go away better, that what leaves as a shape is much smoother. I'm making bigger ones rather than small ones. You should experiment and see maybe when you are working on a small page, they will be smaller, that it will make more sense. But when you are But look in here, for example, I mean bigger ones. So in a small page, they take much more space when they are big connections like this. But on a bigger page, I think bigger ones look better, but you should decide for yourself. Just keep going. Trust process. You're doing great. Soon, we will move on to the painting parts. Another one done. And we are almost there's only this part left. That one pint a bit too long, as you can see, I kind of couldn't connect to joints, but we'll fix it later. Don't worry about that. What's happening to my pen? Oh, here Okay. And now the site. Are you relaxed yet? Of course, for me, it's a little bit different than yours because I have the responsibility of recording and talking to the microphone and so on. But I have to admit it's still fun thing to do and relaxing. I guess it's a bit like this thing we all have that when you start a project, it's much easier to finish that because kind of the project is already open in your brain and it wants to have it done. That's why we say they say beginning is the half of the work after that it happens. I guess in here, there's a similar thing. Once I start making the joints that I just can't wait to finish them. I keep going until I finish. Now, I'm curious how this is going to end up because eventually, what I went with is different than this or this because they had much less. There was a comment from one of you saying that it is not that narrow graphic, so I want to put more in this class. So it's more narrographic. Now we just need to fill them in. I'm using a brush band for that. I was explaining in the first class it is faster to do that you can cover bigger areas easily. But still get into the time spaces the point head. Let's make some space here. Hang this one. You see we already fixed that part. So this part is a bit complicated. I think in huge there's tiny white cap. Not too of them. Okay. I think it turned out great this section. Another joint sum. Going well, we are almost there. I hope you are doing it the same time as I do. This is the reason actually why I don't speed up my videos so that it won't be that you have to stop and catch up with what I'm doing, that you can just play vo and do it alongside me. So that at the end of every video, you actually have one art at the end of every class. And then you can open it again for the next session and try different try different one, different composition, different lines, different color palette, and do it again. As you can see, it's quickly taking shape here. I will add some weight to this one. This This is also done. It feels very satisfying. Kind of after you create all these connections, it feels like checking the boxes a bit, fair to the list. And I'm checking them off one by one. I they're almost there. I'm checking the time, as well. It's been over half an hour, I think. If it's taking longer for you, don't worry about it. Oh. Just keep going and wild video playing, you just go at your own pace, and if I finish faster than you because you might have a design that has more connections and it might take longer. Just if I switch to the painting, just bring it back a bit and we'll continue together. I think we are halfway there. Let's fix this line here. Mm hmm. Since I'm on it, let's do it here as well. Suspect this. So as you can see, this original line wasn't so perfect, and it's now completely hidden. Can you even see it where it was? I think it was this one. And this one? No, but this one ends up there. I'm not sure. I thought it was this in the middle. Yeah, I can't see it now. Yeah, never waste paper. You can always cover it, make it part of your design. No one will notice. Maybe from top to bottom. Everything is recorded, Coach. It's a Monday morning I'm recording this video. Seventh of April. I don't know when this video will come out, but I hope it will be when you're watching this, it will be maybe towards the end of April, before May still. And here in Warsaw, after a few warm days, the cold air came back, kind of. And it's pretty cold. Up in my attic. He but it's still better than sweating Hudi while I'm trying to record. Maybe some of you recall one of my earlier class, I think, especially, it was an issue. I think on my fourth class, everyone can paint. I had a pale red hoodie. And it was, I think middle of June and it was boiling because the sun was right above me, as I'm in the attic, right under the roof. Because cold, you can I don't know, dress up, turn the heating on. You can do something about it, but heat. And if you are recording, you can't turn on the fan. You can't turn on the AC, that there is always this humming noise in the background otherwise. At first, I thought that maybe this should be an extension of my everyone can paint classes that I even thought about naming it. Everyone can abstract. But abstract has another meaning. So everyone can abstract. It also sounds like a math class. And I really love these paintings and making them. So I decided that this should be their own series. And that's how abstract watercolor Escape was born. And by the looks of it, there will be like four to five classes minimum. And in the meantime, I'm still painting and experimenting with different ways. There might be more that I want to share with you guys. We are almost there. To be honest with these many joints, I think we still did pretty well. Time wise. I think I said that I would fix this mistake here. So here we go. Four more joints, and then I will have a look at the lines where I can add a bit more weight. I'm not going to do all of them. I think in here, now, looking back, one of my mistakes was to make all of the lines too thick at the time, I liked it and here as well. But I think it was that now when I look at it to me, it looks too heavy. I like it more that when it goes in between, then it gives more depth, getting thicker, getting thinner. That's something for you to think about and experiment on. And then this part will be over and we'll move on to the painting part. The fun part. This is lots of fun. But I was saying before in some other class I don't remember now that with drawing, I always feel like I prepare a painting page for myself. This is all preparation for the real fun. So now the connections are done, you can see how beautiful it looks. Actually, I should take a photo of this. To have it just black and white later. It comes handy sometimes. So I'm going to now at some weight to some of the lines that, for example, this one, it feels it turns a bit awkwardly. Can you see? And by adding more weight on this one. I can make the curve a bit more natural this way. So this adding weight to your lines can be helpful in this way, too. So that's what I'm looking for if there is any part that needs a little help. Where was I think in here, there was a mistake that my paper moved and there was a uncertainty on my lines, but I think it's gone now. Here, that this shape looks a bit like narrow. I think I'm going to add some weight on this side. And I think this side too. Now, it's like a more like a circle. Mm I think this one could use a tough help too. W. Mm hmm. What else? Maybe the side of the. They don't all have to be very thick, by the way. You can do kind of in between, as well. And these exit points here that they are like thin thin thin, I think I want to make them very So it will look more interesting this way. Again, I keep knocking down the board I used for Sorry. When I do watercolor wet on wet backgrounds, it's I, then it gives me a way to lift it up and tilt the water paint around. So I put it aside. Where else? Where else? I think let's add some here. Okay. And can you see? Tell me. This is okay maybe two this A bit. Mm hmm. And looking, looking looking. I think here I'm gonna some weight. I'm gonna fix the joint as all. Okay, I think these two are a bit part to me that they are the same and same kind of parallel to each other. So I think I'm gonna add some weight to this one. And then can continue thin this way. But we broke the pattern here repeating pattern. Mm hmm. I think I'm happy with this that we can move on to the painting part. So this is it, and now I should take another photo. This is the end. Okay, now let's put the cap on, and this is it for now. I will see on the next part where we will paint. I'm thinking we're gonna use this, we'll see. We'll see. Okay, Jack, we finished. Let's move on to the next part. See you in the next lesson. 6. Painting: Painting Our Design with Watercolors: Okay, welcome back now. Going to do the painting. I've been looking at my other paintings. I really like how they are flowing into each other in this one and this one as well. And these slushes definitely, there will be some splashes. But in the meantime, I also like this one. So I will try to find a middle way like some colors flowing into each other. So not. There will be some flushes to create this kind of a watercolor washes. We will see. Let's see where it goes. I will put these two aside for now. And I have my water containers here, two of them. They are fresh, they are both clean at the moment. And they are not visible, but they are here and here. And because I don't want to hit my camera with my brush when I'm trying to keep it in. And let's see. I'm going to use one spray too. I think some took it. I'm going to spray on the especially the green and blue part because these are the colors. I want to use. The first painting was warm. With yellow and orange and red. This time we will be on the cooler part of the spectrum. Okay. I think I'm going to definitely use some purple that I see this being purple, this ball for some reason. Let's start with that. And, of course, I have a very dirty kitchen towel here from my previous painting in case I need it. And let's see. And as I have a lot in my brush and I'm going to use same colors, for example, I can jump and paint another section as well. This way, you also get different shades of the same color because I have less and less of the same pigment in my brush. I took some more water to my brush so that this wouldn't dry out completely before I'm a wx because these will definitely dry quickly. Since I moved on there the second and third time and there was less and less water in my brush. They will dry quickly. But before this one dries, I want to add another color here. Maybe another small section. My could be. Um hm. Let's blue because that's really goes into other colors. It likes going into other colors. Do you say it's happening? And that's when interesting things starts to happen. That in here maybe like this big section Cv is blue. Bit of purple came out of there. That's nice. And 'cause we can also splash why not? With whatever paint left in the brush. And now which color that is so far we used? Where is my watch. So far we used, I think, imperial Volet and horizon blue. Let's use some turquoise blue. That is one of my go to colors. I'm gonna paint this section. Maybe here. Mm hmm. And let's start going to this side as well a bit. That I think because these blues are here, I want to kind of close that with this corner here. I like the shade of this toquese blue. Okay. And I think what it could be that I leave this section like, Oh. Okay, this is a lesson. Don't drop your brush on your Now that part is gonna be. What blue. It looks like. Don't drop your brush on top of your wet painting. That's a good lesson. Didn't think I would teach this one today, but I was just talking about leaving some sections white. This was one of them. Okay. Um, I was thinking that this section over here coming like this and opening here, maybe I will just leave it white going across the page like that. Anymore turquoise blue, maybe here. Now, next, I want to bring the green because I want some green as well in this. Which greensiden number 55. Yeah. That's cod. And this doesn't mean that I will only leave this section white, so there will be other smaller whites as well. While I had some fresh paint. I just splashed in the purple a bit. And now this green, let's from here, let's make another triangle. Then And this blue starts bleeding into the green abit here. That's good. I can help it a bit by splashing on it. And 12 and I will, I think, make another strangled here. That doesn't mean that I won't use anymore, but I feel like I'm trying to pick three big shapes. Okay. And since I have some paint left, I want to find some small greens to paint. Like in this area, here could be in here, I will leave some whites as well, and maybe this one. Okay. It looks very cheerful so far. I like it and cool. Um, next one. I think I will go back to not violet, but purple. Purple wasn't in the plant. That's a bit warmer than violet because violet is on the cool side, but purple is closer to red. But maybe some as an accent, small sections like this one. Just for variety and a bit of slushing. This section we said it will be white, maybe here. As you can see, if I go out of the lines a bit, I don't worry about it. That's fine. Every now and then I special a little bit. Now I will go back to this Horizon Blue, I use it here and here, and I want another big section kind of across this white. So I think I'm going to do here. And here. Oh And now these two became too close. Maybe I might add another layer to Tarquasbl. And I will go at some of these Malachite Malachite Malachite, I will call it malachite. We could be add some here so that they can blend of it. So here. I think I will go back to the this. And I want this section to be came out very strong. A few splashes. While I have it maybe just here as well. I think I'm going to take my waters. No, I should actually drop them all over my painting and destroy on the side here so that I won't have to go across the camera every time. Now I just noticed. I will bring some blue. I think this is cobalt blue. There's already blue here. This section will be white, maybe here. I said this cobalt blue was a bit too pale. I picked some Prussian blue. I'm making some of the Prussian blue here. I'm trying to make it very that I trying not to put blue next to blue all the time and with other colors as well. So this section will be I will leave it white, I said. So here, Telse. I like how strong this persion blue, so I decided to put between the horizon blue that I think this creates enough contrast. Okay? Now, I think we are I like how this purple looks, so I will definitely add some more purple somewhere. That as an experiment. I put in small places accent, but now looking at it, I like what it brings to the palette, so I'm adding more. And I think I will give this section to purple as well. So more water. When you are trying to pull your paint down and it feels like it's difficult, just add more water to it. Some more purple slush on the purple here. Purple plushes on the violet, sorry. And while this is still wet, I think I want to wet here purple as well. So maybe they will mingle between each other. Yeah. Yeah, let them mingle. It's starting out very nice and colorful, and this white space I'm leaving here is starting to very visible. Very light purple here with whatever left on my brush. And now I think it's time to go back to green a bit. For the green, I want to let's use turquoise green. I think I had too much time dropping some off. And this turquoise green, I think I'm going to leave here white. I still want to have some contrast here. But this one can be taken. And should I leave this white? These ones I want to leave white. Okay, so this one I will give to turquoise. And maybe this little section here so that they will also mix up of it. There's a very nice color combination that here Turquoise and Prussian blue and the purple. I like that mix. And so I think I'm going to do the same here. That I want to kind of close this section because this is this white barrier I created in my head that should be white and some here. And that's mixing with the Prussian blue over there. I like it. Let's flashy bit. Now are white going across the sky, like the milky way is more visible. And I don't want to make it like these are color. These are white. So white I want to leave here because that's for the contrast. But I think this is now visible enough visible enough. Okay. And I'm now checking if there's anything else I want to add last additions. Like, find time. There's three empty next to each other. Maybe in here, I can add something. There's purple already. There is violet. So I think it is a good place for Turquoise. Green. So that's that. And here I have lots of This one I want to leave white. Maybe let's give this one to Turquoise as well. I'm going to leave this one white, this one white. And I can splash every with turquoise. And I think I want to finish with some purple splashes. Because that became the accent color of this painting. They bringing a little bit of warmth into the cool blues and purples, cool blues and violets. And I think with this, I'm done. Yeah. I think I'm happy with how it turned out. This is it. I hope you are I hope you like it as well. I'm looking forward to how I'm looking forward to see how yours turned out. And now I'm gonna let my paint dry. And while you wait for your painting to dry, you can go and leave me a review, and I'm looking forward to seeing your class projects, and I will see you in the conclusion. Bye. 7. Conclusion and Bloopers at the End: And this Phew. We made it. You can start stressing again. Relaxation is over. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and congratulations on finishing another one of my classes. If you didn't just sit and watch me like watching white lotus, also, congratulations on the new painting of yours. Let's remember what we did today. This class is the second part of the O series. A stands for abstract watercolor escape. First, we made a neurographic art design like in the first class, but this time it was more complex network of lines to really experience neurographic art and relaxing while rounding out the corners. After the drawing, we moved on to the painting part. As a difference from the first class, we didn't wet our paper. We applied the paint on dry paper, and every now and then, let the still wet paint touch. But in general, we focused on painting all the sections with different colors rather than focusing on the circles like the last time. Thanks to this, we ended up with a much different looking painting. If there is one thing I want you to remember after this class, that would be the fact that art can be just for fun and relaxation. If we can let go of the idea of how our painting should look only then can we be truly creative? And I'm looking forward to seeing those creative sparks. I'm sure while doing this painting with me, you had plenty of ideas like, what if I use squares or maybe I can use green and pink instead. You should go for it. Try out all your ideas, and later come and share your paintings in the class project gallery so we can all enjoy your art. While I got you here, don't forget to follow me here, and whenever there is a follow button. I don't have to tell you about the reviews. You already took care of that while your painting was drying, right? Right? Right. Thanks again for watching and creating with me. I will see you on next one. Until then, stay creative. Bye. Audio is recording too. Hello, we are going to record another class today. Actually, the class is recorded. This is just the pleasantries me showing my face to. I could make a class once a week if I didn't have to do this all setup and my face thing. But anyway, cheers, coconut water is my favorite thing. I don't know if the guilty pleasure. There's nothing guilty about it. I don't know how natural this is in a can like that, but unfortunately, I live in Poland. We don't have coconuts falling from trees. So if you watch my jump class, I was saying that this is my reward for myself and I'm allowed to drink this one because I scored last night in the game. So first, I did 15 jumps in a row without breaking the chain in one of my jumps, and I was allowed to buy. And then by scoring in a game, I'm allowed to drink. Please make it more complicated. Okay, let's leave this here. Today we are starting with composition. Not composition. What composition? Conclusion. Conclusion. Okay. Not bad. It took me an hour to put this together. And my desk is a mess, as you can see. This is the painting we are going to paint. So we will get there. Now I'm going to pretend that we are at the end. Actually, I'm at the very beginning of this kind of in the middle. But it will be like we did all this, and I'm giving you the conclusion and, like, we did so much and Whew. We made it. Okay, one, two, three, go. Phew. We made it. Few. We made it. You can start stressing again. Stress. Again. Few. We made it. You can start stressing. You can start stressing again. Too many sss. Again, doll good. Jack, handsome. Okay. Here we are. Let's take another zip. Actually, maybe I could use this trick to get to the recording part faster. But if I tell myself if I start recording me before 10:00 A.M. I can get a can of coconut water. That might work. Watching and creating with me. It's nothing complicated. I should be able to remember this. And later on, they are super pretty too. Again, jump number six started. You will practice your line drawing as well as your watercolor mixing skills while unwinding at the end of a long day. Why did I stop? Again, while unwinding, unwinding, while unwinding, at the end of a long day. Again, for a few minutes, for a few minutes. Write down, write down what your cause of Okay, maybe make it simpler. Write down, What's the write down? What is stressing you? What's stressing you? Again? Here, there will be Bros, I think. But Bros makes it much longer and no, I should read it to the camera, but I will try to do the Bros. Pick a color palette and color palette. Color palette. Color palette. I need my sunglasses for this. Don't time. Come on. Don't be lazy. Walk into the sunset in slow motion while feeling extremely accomplished and productive. If you are ready, please come in. And let's create again, this is ridiculous, Jack. If you are ready, please come in. And let's create let's be creative while relaxed. Next meet you. Next. Okay, that was
