Watercolor abstract painting ideas with simple shapes, dots, modern marks, and layered blue green mixed media texture.

Quick & Playful Abstracts Using a Limited Color Palette

​

In this video, I’m creating four playful mini abstract paintings using a limited color palette from the Color Cube and just a handful of supplies.

If you’ve been wanting to explore abstract art without a lot of fuss, this is a fun way to loosen up, try out different brushes, and let color lead the way.

Whether you're new to mixed media or looking for fresh ideas to spark your creativity, you’ll see how easy it is to make bold, expressive mini artworks that feel joyful and free. Grab your brushes and come paint 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.
