Grid painting using watercolour and mixed media! I just love this process and it’s always a surprise when the tape comes up. Usually there’s one or two compositions that shine. It’s a great exercise for loosening up and learning about layering, colour and composition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you use this type of process in your art practice? How does it feed your creativity? 🎨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gridpaintings #gridjournaling #gridjournal #sketchbooksquares #mixedmediaart #watercolourabstract | Laura Horn A

Art tip: Feeling creatively blocked? Bring in a constraint. Here I’m making small abstract studies using five rounded shapes, then finishing with a little mark making. No more, no less. It’s a simple exercise that gets things going without pressure. Save this for days when you need a little creative nudge ✨🎨 #mixedmediaart #artinspiration #markmaking #artpractice #abstractpainting | Laura Horn Art

You don’t have to know how to do something to begin. When I first picked up a gel plate, I had no idea what I was doing. And yet some of my favourite sketchbooks and paintings now hold little snippets from those early experiments. It’s amazing what can happen when you let yourself try without expecting a perfect result. Do you use a gel plate in your art practice? It’s such a great tool for getting things going, especially after a dry spell. I love mine ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mixedmediaart #abstractartis

I realised something today. I don’t think I’ve ever thrown out a paintbrush, even when they’re dried up and falling apart. I’m always thinking maybe it will make an interesting mark, or maybe I can bring it back to life with a little TLC. When I look at this collection, each brush reminds me of a different phase of my art life. January has me in a reflective, organising frame of mind. So today I’m sorting these beauties and letting them continue to inspire me, and bring a little nostalgia with t

This little printing exercise is perfect if you don’t have a gel plate. It’s a quick, organic way to create beautiful collage papers and spark new ideas for mark making. It’s one of the techniques I teach inside the Creative Blend Art Program. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All you need is palette paper and fluid acrylic paint. If you don’t have palette paper, you can try baking paper, the shiny side of freezer paper, brown paper bags, deli paper, waxed paper, or silicone sheets. It’s all about playing with what you

I try not to judge these pieces. I let them move through me and remind me what it feels like to create without the pressure to produce something. The magic lies in repetition, and in knowing that I can and will paint another, and then another. Do you have a painting warm-up ritual, or a practice you return to again and again that helps you find flow? #watercolourmeditation #gentlecreativity #slowartpractice #mindfulart #creativeflow | Laura Horn Art

Watercolour is beautiful… and a little unforgiving. The transparency of the paint means you can’t cover things up in the same way you can with acrylic. But that same transparency is also what makes watercolour so beautiful and unique. You often have to think a few steps ahead as you work. There’s still plenty of room for intuition, but there are also intentional moves. For me, the balance of the two is what I love, a bit of unpredictability combined with some gentle problem-solving. How does wor
