Abstract Art Sampler Pieces: Reds and Grays Color Palette Challenge

In this art video tutorial, join me as I take on a color palette challenge using a palette card from the Color Cube collection in reds and grays. Watch as I create a series of stunning and minimal abstract artworks using the 5 colors from the palette.

Through the use of watercolor, liquid graphite, and various mark-making techniques, I craft 4 sampler pieces that are not only visually striking but also serve as inspiration for larger artworks or a cohesive collection.

Join me in exploring the possibilities of this color palette, experimenting with new supplies, and honing my mark-making skills. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a beginner artist, or simply seeking inspiration, this tutorial is packed with creative insights and techniques to help you unleash your artistic potential. Get ready to dive into the world of colors, textures, and abstract expression in this exciting artistic journey!
