Two abstract paintings side by side, both created with the same purple and green palette using different techniques—concentric circles and freeform marks—on a textured background.

Same Colors, Totally Different Vibes: 2 Abstract Paintings with One Palette

​

Get inspired by this abstract painting session where I create two totally different artworks using the same purple and green color palette from The Color Cube.

One features layered concentric circles, while the other flows with freeform abstract mark making. I used the same tools and techniques in both — and the results surprised me!

If you love exploring color, texture, and intuitive painting, this video will spark ideas for your own creative process. Whether you're new to abstract art or a seasoned painter, you'll enjoy seeing how one palette can lead to very different pieces. Grab your supplies and paint along!

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.
