Muted Magic: Mixing Brown + Red Violet for Art Journal Pages
Join me in this relaxing and inspiring art journaling session as I dive into color mixing in my Dina Wakley Ledger journal. Using Blick Matte Acrylics in brown and red violet deep, plus black and white, I create a custom muted palette that sets the tone for both a swatch study and an expressive abstract painting.
On the left page, I explore the color variations and blending possibilities, while the right page becomes a vibrant composition full of mark-making, stenciling, and intuitive play.
Perfect for mixed media artists and abstract lovers looking to deepen their understanding of limited palettes and color harmony!
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.

Hi Denise,
the colours are divine. I have just started to use stencils and I am anxious to do this beautiful painting painting of yours.
Thank you again for a great video.
Mary ODonnell.
Hi Mary, thank you so much. I’m so glad you loved the colors, and how exciting that you’re starting to play with stencils. I hope you have the best time creating your own version of the painting!
