Introduction
In the video by Gabrielle Anna Cormier Art, you will witness the mesmerizing process of creating abstract artwork using watercolors with an intuitive approach. This method showcases the artist’s technique of producing a diptych, offering viewers insight into a meditative and relaxing creative process. Similar to neurographic art, intuitive watercolor painting engages mindfulness and contributes to overall health and wellbeing. The materials used for this art form include a rigid surface for taping paper, water, a paper towel, and Caran D’Ache Neocolor 2 crayon in Prussian Blue.
Setting Up
Before diving into the creative process, it is crucial to prepare a rigid surface for taping paper to ensure a stable working environment. Gathering essential materials such as water, a paper towel, and the Caran D’Ache Neocolor 2 crayon in Prussian Blue sets the stage for a seamless painting experience.
Creating Background
To initiate the artwork, using a large mop brush to add water to the paper helps in creating a fluid base for the colors. Adding a light wash of color to the wet paper sets the tone for the background of the painting, imparting a subtle and harmonious backdrop. Allowing the paper to dry completely is essential before moving on to the next phase.
Adding Color
The process of adding color involves introducing pops of vibrant hues onto the paper and letting them flow freely to create dynamic patterns. Spraying water onto the paint helps in manipulating the colors and forming intriguing shapes. By intuitively choosing colors and allowing the water to guide the painting, a sense of spontaneity and creativity shines through.
Enhancing Colors
To enhance the vibrancy of the artwork, adding less diluted, more pigmented paint adds depth and contrast to the composition. Incorporating brighter colors and a dark shade creates visual interest and ensures that the colors pop against the background, elevating the overall aesthetic appeal of the artwork.
Adding Details
Intricate details are added to the painting by dropping rubbing alcohol onto the paint to create unique shapes and textures. Incorporating elements such as gold and bright blue further enhances the visual appeal and provides contrast. Blending with water and adding water-soluble crayon infuses creativity and complexity into the artwork.
Doodling and Patterns
Creating dots, lines, and circles with black and white markers adds a touch of whimsy and structure to the painting. Drawing shapes found in the background and repeating patterns on both sides of the diptych fosters cohesion and balance within the artwork. The simple act of doodling elevates the composition and adds layers of visual interest.
Creating Contrast
Utilizing black and white to create contrast within the painting transforms the artwork and adds a dynamic element. Through the use of simple lines and shapes, the artist enhances the depth and visual impact of the composition. Adding more gold accents contributes to shimmer and texture, elevating the overall aesthetic of the artwork.
Final Touches
The final touches involve adding a touch of gold to the pieces, completing the intuitive watercolor paintings. By infusing the artwork with subtle hints of gold, the artist adds a touch of elegance and shine. Encouraging viewers to engage in the creative process and enjoy the journey of creating art is the final message that resonates through the artwork.
