Abstract Mixed Media Painting

“Pastel Tides” is one of those paintings that came together with a sense of quiet flow. I began by layering texture using modelling paste. There’s something satisfying about building the surface before any color even touches it.

Once the texture was set, I painted over it using soft pastel tones, blues, blushes, and muted lilacs, letting the colors blend and move gently across the canvas. I wanted the painting to feel like calm waves, slowly rolling in and out. The textured layers gave it depth, and the soft color palette brought a stillness I connected with while working on it.

Every section overlaps just enough to feel like one moment fades into the next, like a tide coming in, quiet and steady. When I stepped back and looked at it, the name “Pastel Tides” felt right. It captures that feeling of drifting emotionally and visually without being too literal. It’s a gentle, layered piece meant to bring a sense of softness and stillness, whether someone hangs it in a busy or quiet room.
