Dive Into Watercolor Clausura: A Holiday Art Journey

Art workshops, Artist, ArtTravel

For my artist colleagues. Workshops. Holiday spirit for creative community.
How about to dive into a world of color?

Are you ready to unleash your inner artist and let the colors flow? In today’s post, I am exploring the captivating world of watercolor clausura. I learned this in my watercolor course many years ago. This is my favorite technique especially during this Magic Holidays period.

The watercolor painting with Clausura technique captures the serene beauty of a scuba diver. The diver explores a vibrant sea kingdom, teeming with life appearing from nowhere:)

Before and After. Scuba diving and Marine life

How? I will share my experiments with this magic technique. You need two brushes. Choose two of your favorite watercolor paints. Get some watercolor paper (300 g). Put on your favorite music with headphones. Most importantly, make sure you have time. Close your eyes and paint with two brushes, completely spontaneously!

Before. What is it? Looks like Marine life, some fishes and a face of a person;)

As the colors blend and dance across the canvas, immerse yourself in the moment. Savor the joy of artistic expression. When you’re finished, take a moment to pause and listen – the painting just whispers something special to you. And if you’re unsure of what the painting is trying to tell you, don’t worry. Try shifting your perspective – turn the painting from vertical to horizontal, or view it from top to bottom. Sometimes, the true beauty of the art reveals itself in unexpected ways.

And your watercolor clausura painting may just shock you with its oddly charming beauty—like the artsy cousin of your stick figures—much like this delightfully dramatic scene of scuba diving and marine life.

After, with imagination painting. Scuba diving and Marine life

So, grab your brushes, embrace the spontaneity, and let the music and colors guide you on a one-of-a-kind artistic journey. Are you ready to discover what your inside voice has to say through the captivating art of watercolor clausura? Let’s dive in and unleash our creativity together!

This is a spontaneous and freeing painting technique. It will ignite your creativity! To start, grab two watercolor brushes and two of your favorite colors. Whether you prefer a dry or wet paper, the choice is yours. Now, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the soothing melodies of your favorite music. Let the rhythm guide your hand as you paint.

Summer vacation, lakes, boats and travel in Ontario, Canada

ArtTravel

Summer vacation is basically nature’s way of saying “Go forth and create art!” So naturally, the only sensible thing to do is pack paint supplies and pretend you’re not sweating through your shirt. What do you actually need to paint masterpieces in the great outdoors? Just some simple art tools and the delusion that you won’t spill watercolors all over your lap.

Love the summer feeling with this hat

Behold! My beloved art bag—the tiny vessel that somehow holds a travel brush, a modest watercolor paint box, a sketchbook for doodling my failures, AND a silk scarf. That scarf serves dual purposes: it makes me look artistically sophisticated and doubles as a mask when I need to hide from other hikers questioning my life choices.

The whole studio. It fits in a bag. Take that, real artists.

So there I was at #Toronto #downtown, perched on the shore of #Ontario lake, racing against an impending #downpour because apparently I make terrible weather-based decisions. The park was eerily quiet—that perfectly calm, slightly ominous feeling right before a storm hits, with only a few boats gently creaking and swaying on the waves, as if they, too, were nervously waiting for nature’s tantrum to begin.

Boats patiently waiting for the storm. Relatable.

I could literally smell the ozone (which sounds more dramatic than it actually is), so I wisely abandoned ship and sprinted away just before the rain started its assault. But plot twist: I totally captured the pre-storm atmosphere in my painting—see those actual raindrops? I didn’t accidentally get water on the paper; those are intentional artistic choices. I absolutely love summer storms, even when they’re chasing me away like an angry mob.

Those dots are raindrops. On purpose. Obviously.

#Ontario #Kawarta #lakes—This watercolor was painted directly on a boat during a warm summer evening while my husband was fishing approximately one foot away from me in the same tiny boat. The artistic process is truly romantic, except for when you realize you’re both taking up maximum space and someone’s going to accidentally knock over the paint water.

Painted this while my husband caught fish. We both tried our best.

My mission: capture the soft, dreamy evening hues of a charming little cottage on the shore, surrounded by lush green leaves and moody monochrome stones. The lake and those two birches on the high shore? They took me straight back to #Belarus, my motherland—minus the actual traveling part, which is the real dream during #lockdown.

A cottage so cosy it made me homesick for a place I’ve never lived.

Bon voyage, you absolute legends! Until our next adventure. Now go forth and create some art before something terrible happens on the weather front!
