Color Mixing Magic: Magenta, Blue, Black & White Art Journal

​

In this video, I’m working in my Dina Wakley Ledger, exploring color mixing and creating an abstract art journal spread. I start by mixing magenta, blue, black, and white to build a custom color palette on the left page, experimenting with different shades and tones. On the right page, I use those colors in an abstract painting, layering textures, marks, and patterns to bring the page to life. Join me for a relaxing, creative session where I share tips on color mixing, palette building, and using your journal as a space for playful experimentation!
