Mixed Media Mark Making Session: Holbein Gouache, Faber-Castell, and Kingart

​

In today’s video, I’m continuing to fill one of my Bare Spine Beauty journals from class with two layered mixed media abstract pages inspired by color palettes from The Color Cube.

I used the same palette on both pages but shifted the dominant color on each painting to see how the palette behaves when the color roles change. To add extra visual interest inside the book, I taped off the abstracts in two different sizes, which instantly gave the spread a stronger composition.

Along the way I’m building lots of texture and mark making with Holbein gouache, Kingart gel crayons, Faber-Castell Black Collection pencils, Kuretake Gold Mica ink, and Posca pens.

If you love abstract art, color palette play, and satisfying layers, come create with me.

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.
