Abstract Art Color Palette Challenge Using The Color Cube

Today I’m continuing to fill one of my handmade Bare Spine Beauty journals from the Bare Spine Beauty class, and I’m using color palettes from the Color Cube to guide each abstract page.

For this spread, I chose one palette and switched up the dominant color on each page so I could see how the same colors behave when I give them different “lead roles.” I also taped off the shapes in different sizes to create a little extra movement and interest across the book pages.

Along the way I’m layering Holbein gouache, graphite, Faber-Castell Black Collection pencils, Kuretake gold mica ink in a fine line bottle, a Pandafly white pen, and Posca pens for lots of mark making, texture, and those tiny details that make the pages come alive.

If you love art journaling, color studies, and mixed media layers, I think you’ll really enjoy this one. Thanks for being here.

Looking for the supplies I used? I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used materials on one easy-to-update page here: https://2lilowls.com/favorite-supplies-for-mixed-media-abstract-art/

(Some of the links are affiliate links. If you use my link, I get a small commission, which will go toward my art supplies and to support this channel! I appreciate your support!!)

Note: I don’t list individual supply links on every post any longer, simply because keeping up with that for each video or project took more time than I have. Instead, I’ve created one easy-to-browse page where I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used art supplies. It’s always up to date, and a great place to find what I’m working with most often.
