Pink, Orange & Black? Unexpected Color Mixing for Stunning Abstract Art

​

In this video, I dive into color mixing and abstract painting in my Dina Wakley Ledger Journal! Using Blick Matte Paints in Pink Deep and Yellow Orange Deep, along with black and white, I explore how to create a beautiful, cohesive color palette.

On one page, I swatch and experiment with different mixes, and on the other, I bring those colors to life in an abstract painting with stencils and mark-making.

Whether you're looking for color inspiration or want to see the creative process unfold, this tutorial is perfect for mixed media and art journaling enthusiasts!

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.
