Unleashing Creativity: Mastering Abstract Art Techniques with Limited Colors

[@lealea12368]

I am absolutely thrilled when I see a video from you pop up in my video recommendations. You spark joy in my heart and inspire me to have fun and get back to a place where creativity is fun and enticing again! Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience in every video ❤

[@franlynch9428]

[@MissDeeDickson]

I LOVE the JOY and PASSION you have and give us, the viewers, in every video you make!! I've been binge watching your videos for weeks and I'm getting up the courage to make some art of my own. I'm getting closer...! Thank you dear for your wonderful, joyous art! ❤😅😊

'This weirdo circle thing...'Girl, you crack me up! 😆 that sounds like something I would say.😊 I love listening to you and watching you paint. You make me want to be adventurous in my painting and goofy and not stress so much about the end result but to just enjoy the process. Thank you for sharing your real self in your videos, you are a delight!

I have a sketchbook from India with the same paper. It buckles like crazy when it's wet. But I find that overnight it will flatten out on its own-no need to put anything heavy on it. You can even go back and paint on the other side when it's in a sketchbook.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

That paper is a bit crazy... I'll probably use up what I have... but probably won't order it again. 😊

[@gaylecewpie5012]

Hi Denise, I had to watch all your videos over again, they are by far the best abstract painting videos out there. Of course you make this all exciting and I want to get in there and start throwing paint around. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and personality with all us.💖 I now call you Sparkle Plenty!😀

Just discovered your work via Summer Creative Retreat 2023 . In love! And thank you for introducing me to the Color Cube. By the way, I have used Khadi as writing paper in handmade journals. With ripped (deckled edges) they provide a very cool look and feel.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

So glad you are here!! That Khadi paper is rather unusual! You’ll love the cubes… I’ve been having so much fun with color challenges. 😊

[@cw4608]

I like the second one upside down too, because the other way it looked like a cup full of mini marshmallows. All very nice. You can’t go wrong with blue and orange color families.

OOOooo A tropical jungle. Love it.

[@janinafisher101]

I had never heard of Khadi paper before this video, but back in university I did some studies of Mahatma Gandhi and was contemplating going to India for a semester abroad. I learned that Gandhi was promoting self-sufficiency in India, and one of the methods of doing so was to spin and weave your own cloth, which he did, and the white fabric he used to wear as a sort of a wrap was made from this Khadi cloth, which was cotton, but I just looked it up and Khadi cloth can be made from silk as well. Interesting reconnection to my past!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@vikkigherzi9933]

My favorite part is when you choose the colors and mediums you will be using. I liked the white circles they ended up looking like yarrow.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

So glad you enjoyed this project! Thank you! ☺️

[@connieebinger6343]

I’m always amazed at these both because the beginning color palette is kind of wishy-washy for me, but it turned out so beautiful. And then the other part is when you cut them up how it changes everything. Really feels like it gives me permission to just do that sort of crazy fun, creating and then come up with really cool stuff. Love it! Thank you so much for your inspiration!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Amazes me too!! Every time. 😂 Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@creativesolutionstoart]

I make these little mini watercolor pallets out of old mint candy tins… So I have a little predetermined, watercolor pallets, and I randomly grab them when doing a painting. I’ve got about eight of them, and it definitely makes that part of the process super easy and I don’t have to think about anything. I thought of making my own color cube cards after seeing your videos though :-) especially for larger projects. These were pretty good when I’m just at my desk because the little pallets are small and I don’t have to bust out different paints from different places. I’ve been binge watching your videos! Lol.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I did make my own color palette cards - had them printed… it was 25 cards for $40! The color cubes are 500 cards for $67 - so it is wayyyyyy cheaper to do those! I show mine in a couple videos. Putting a few of your favorite palettes together in tins is a fun idea! ☺️

[@creativesolutionstoart]

Oh dear, I would probably just swatch my own Four by six watercolor paper with the color groups and put them in a recipe box/card file holder! I learned while watching your videos that it seems to be a combination of complementary colors with one analogous and a couple of neutrals… With the freedom to incorporate black white and metallics :-) at least that’s the little formula I came up with… I could also take notes while watching you pull pallet cards and copy some of those😉🎨

Love your videos!! I struggle with the khadi paper too. It acts so differently than the cellulose or European cotton watercolour papers were all so familiar with. The struggle is real with this paper! Ha! But you still pulled off some fun and pretty artwork. Nice!

[@2lilowlsstudio]

The struggle IS real! Haha. Thank you! ☺️

[@dreamwoodsbutterfly]

I love how you pushed through the ugly phase and found some really good pieces in there! I ended up really liking the color palette! Also that paper is cotton rag. I read on Amazon that it's made of recycled t-shirts so you were correct in saying it felt like fabric.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Yeah - totally feels like a fabric! I didn’t realize it was t-shirts! Cool. I struggled with this one. These challenges really push you! 😊

You are correct about Khadi stubborn behavior with water. I recently eco dyed some sheets on Khadi just for fun. I had to keep using a bamboo stick to push the sheets into the dye bath because it would float to the top & the fluid would just run off. My Khadi is from Italy. It finally took the dye bath & the finished pieces are beautiful. I purchased Khadi because I like to stitch on paper & it is a robust paper with some flexibility.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

It is stubborn!! And it feels a bit like cloth - so I can see it being great for stitching! I’ll probably use the rest of what I have, but don’t think I’ll get more 😁

I really like how excited you get when you are creating. It definitely makes me want to dig out everything and start throwing paint to paper...LOL.

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm

Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰 So I actually keep what I make since I make videos and classes. I might need pieces to photograph again. My goal isn’t to sell art my goal is to make the videos. You could sell your art online, at art fairs, and local galleries. Make cards, frame some to hang in your house which I do, give as gifts for birthdays and holidays, cut up pieces you don’t love to make other pieces. Make artist trading cards. Share your art online with others. I just want to make stuff and making videos and classes gives me a purpose for that creating 😊

I have some khadi paper and found it super fun but the buckling to be annoying so I use it in smaller pieces so it's not as bad. I find when it dries it goes back flat for the most part anyway. It definitely does peel up with any type of tape/washi I've tried but I enjoy the feeling of it and it just being very fun and different to use thank you for your videos.

[@2lilowlsstudio]

I don't work on Canvas hardly ever anymore - so I don't have any videos on Canvas currently. I like to cut stuff up - so if I want to have a piece mounted to hang like a canvas - I do it on paper and cut out the part I love and mount it to cradled board and paint the sides in a solid color. My goal isn't to sell art, it is to make art classes and videos - so storing paper is much easier than storing canvas in my condo.

They are shiny and I don't hate them. So when your painting just is crap - make bookmarks and collage fodder. I'm so happy that I'm not all depressed over this whole thing! Thanks for reading all this! Hugs Susan in AZ❤️🏜️

So glad you painted with me today… that’s why I love cutting stuff up… everything is a hot mess til I cut it up 😁

You are so amusing! It's bad enough the mailman and Amazon know your address. I believe the art store is at a good distance for a reason. You would be a broke moehammie! Lol

[@2lilowlsstudio]

Haha! Right? Thank you! 🥰

[@RozWilloughby]

Did you know you can sometimes turn the painting to the backside, than use printer paper or paper from packaging, or parchment paper, paper towels, on both sides then with anIron on medium NO STEAM.!! Iron out the buckles or wrinkles slowly and carfefully, checking to make sure you don't scorch or melt any thing like pastels or crayon markings. Just a suggestion.

Great tip!! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Could you create a spreadsheet with 1-500 and put a ‘yes’ next to the cards you’ve used so you don’t have to punch out of them?

[@2lilowlsstudio]

You definitely could... 😁
