Semi Abstract Watercolor Landscape Painting Technique | Using Aquapasto

For these really fun semi abstract landscapes I added about an equal amount of the watercolor medium aquapasto to my watercolor paints. This gives the paint more body and I was then able to use a squeegee to move the paint across the paper. I used a combination of different blues along with brown madder. Use similar colours or try something different. The result is a layered semi abstract painting that looks great and is alot of fun to do.
I love to experiment with watercolors and to share my results as demonstrations and tutorials. I really enjoy hearing from people in the comments so please put down and questions, comments or requests for possible future videos!.

Thank you so much 😊

Hi Anna, I’m new to your channel and enjoying your style. I’m into semi abstract minimalist landscapes too and use a lot of pigment. I’ve never come across this aquapasto before so might give it ago. I’ve been veering towards acrylic and a mixed media style recently but I still love the happy accidents with watercolours. Thanks for sharing. Jill R 🇬🇧

Hi Jill, thank you for your comment 😊 I really like using aquapasto. I did another video using thinner layers of watercolour with thicker layers mixed with aquapasto ontop. The end result looked and felt like mixed media. I dont know if you saw it but might be interesting for you. 😊

Fantastic! Let me know how you get on!

Thank you for a lovely demo and I adore your work. Can you tell me where i would get a squeegee from please?

[@annamabellaedgley]

Hello! Thank you. The squeegee I used is silicon. I actually brought it in a fairly large art shop. Hopefully a smaller local art shop would also have one. I also saw that there are quite a few available on amazon so you could also try there. Failing that to start with you could try to use a piece of cardboard or even a silicon kitchen utensil! Hope this helps, and let me know how you get on if you have time!
