Abstract Painting Tutorial: Pink & Orange Palette Exploration
In this art video tutorial, I guide you through the process of creating a large abstract art piece in your art journal using shades of pink, orange, and yellow. I demonstrate step-by-step how I incorporate mark-making techniques to complement the facing page of this 2-page spread.

I adore this painting and the colors – which I don’t think I would have thought of! It’s gorgeous. I wonder if you can tell me what the two pinks were you used in the Blick Matte paints. I’m going to Blick next week, hoping to get colors you use that I love – warm gray and sage blue, as well as celedon. I’d love to add the two pinks you used in this painting. Denise, I hope you know what a treasure you are. I’m usually not very happy with art I make, but I’m learning to just enjoy the process and that in in itself is amaz ing. Still need to work on not having a preconceived notion in my mind – that might take more time for this old perfectionist broad! Thank you forbeing you!
I’m so glad you are beginning to enjoy the process! That really makes my day! I used Red Deep, Orange Deep, Brilliant Magenta and Yellow Oxide in this one! Hope that helps. Thank you!! <3
