- Join me on a creative journey as I take on a double challenge in this captivating art tutorial. Armed with a color palette card and a set of art prompts, I dive into the world of color coordination and guided mark-making. With a large piece of paper sectioned off and various art mediums like watercolors, acrylic paints, stencils, and neocolor 11 pastels at hand, I embark on a fascinating artistic exploration. As the process unfolds, I reveal twelve breathtaking mini-art pieces uniquely coordinated by color and marks. Watch as I share my techniques, insights, and the joy of pushing creative boundaries. This art tutorial is packed with inspiration and showcases the power of embracing challenges to unlock your artistic potential. Join me in this transformative artistic adventure!

I love your laugh, especially when you get excited and go RARR!! You are absolutely right, if they don’t like something about your videos - they’re not your tribe. Bye, Felicia.
Bless their hearts!

These are fabulous Denise ❤😊
Thank you! ☺️
Your excitement is so fun to watch while I love your art too!

What a fun project with such yummy colors! You spark joy Denise and not just art related joy! You lift up my spirits and make my whole day better. Your freedom of expression both creatively and personally has really inspired me. I love your process, your diverse choice of art supplies and your adventurous spirit.

You’ve really made my day!! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Amen!!!
I’ve been watching all afternoon fabulous fun!
Thank you! 🥰
Love girl. That one with dark blue. Yum!!!!
I love the dark blue too! Thank you! 😊
Confession...i sometimes feel like i can't make it to the end of your creative process. But, thankfully, i always do. You make something exciting out of what, to me, is not much to look at. But that's what you are teaching me... just keep adding layers, and layers. I'm not very good at that yet, but I SO appreciate your trying to show me how. Thank you!!
Adding layers... and not being afraid to cut it up if you don't love it into something else. I love cutting stuff up. 😁
@@2lilowlsstudio oh, I'm good at cutting up designs. Bookmarks, cards, gift tags...i have countless #s of them!
It’s like Christmas when I open YT and there you are! In all your creative goodness and joy you make me smile as I watch and listen to you create! Keep the videos coming, you/they are loved!
You’ve really made my day! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Great cards, Denise :)))

Your joy is infectious! I haven't touched paint for years. You inspire me 🌟
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
Wow...absolutely loving all of them..great job. 🌿💕🌿
Thanks so much 😊

Thank you so much! 😊
Ok these cut up are THE BOMB!! FABULOUS DAY OF PAINTING!! I want to do a bunch on a page now. Thanks Denise!! 🎉❤😂🥰
These came out so good!! Have fun painting!! 🎨🎨 Thank you! ☺️
Loved these! I love orange and blue together.
Thank you!! 🥰
HEEHEEHEE 😂, My favorite. These are colors that i wouldn't have put together either. But boy the combo of art supplies to make the most creative tiny pieces of art. Wow wow wow. ❤
Worked out so good didn’t it? Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
@@2lilowlsstudio OH YES THEY DID, ❤️❤️❤️
Denise, this video ROCKED ❤ Your cards are phenominal and your enthusiasm is beyond infectious! You make it look so easy, your art comes out fantastic and you are such a joy! TFS all your creative ideas and the tip about using your opposite hand to free draw lines, etc on your paper before adding the paint. A very good point! ❤ xo Barbie
Thank you so much! You’ve really made my day! 🥰🥰🥰
@@2lilowlsstudio 😊
I love the little squares! Using different techniques helps you see if you love one more than the other to turn it into a larger project!! Thank you for your creative inspirations!
These are perfect for testing out ideas and composition for sure! Thank you! ☺️
Soooo pretty!!! Love love love them
Thank you so much!! 😊
LOVE those colors!
Thank you! 😁
Awesome little pieces of beauty, thanks!
Glad you like them! Thank you! ☺️
All of the above! Teaching, learning, selling my art… That is what makes it fun! You put it in a way that I haven’t been able to. I thought I either had to be making art for fun, or doing it as a profession. Well, doing it professionally is what makes it fun for me! Thank you so much seems like such an obvious thing, but it was very insightful for me when you said this :-) I just came across your channel yesterday. Been really enjoying your energy and your style, abstract art is More meditational and a type of letting go from my usual technical problem-solving way of working in art.
I get a lot out of watching you have fun! ❤️
Right? Doing it for a purpose is what makes it fun for me too. Gives me a reason to show up 😁… Thank you! 🥰
These turned out beautifully,,,,xxxxx ❤
Thank you! ☺️
You always make me smile
Thank you! 🥰
What a great video Denise..so inspiring!
Thank you so much! 🥰
I love her style
Thank you! 🥰
I love, love, love your series of creativity. Thank you! (Durham, N.C,)
Thank you! 🥰
I’ve learnt so much from you! What you said about purpose just set me on fire. I’ve come back to this video after spending hours in my studio painting what my autistic brain feels like to me. I realise my creativity is about connecting my insides with the external world so I can teach others what it feels like to be so different. I do most of this through my writing. Last week I had this 💡 moment where I realised that this information I found is what ‘a decade ago me needed’ so I could recover from my mental health struggles. I have a purpose in getting this information out there for others. But watching your video today, I realised that this counts for my art work too and I had a little joyful leak out of my eyes. I knew I created to express and process my emotions but if I can teach someone else how to do that too then, that, would be truly incredible!
I’m so glad that resonated with you! You can do it!! Thank you! ☺️
This would be really cool with some copper metallic ink with your dip pen. So yummy! Another use could be if you were creating a card deck, could scan the images to upload to a card printer.
It totally would!! 😍😁🎨
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! 🥰
Fantastic!!!
Thank you! ☺️
Fantastic🎉
Thank you! 🥰
So pretty !
Thank you!! 😊
Love love watching your clips! You know..if you use the numbers stencil from the other side you get the same effect of the scribble writing..it no longer resembles numbers. It becomes less recognisable to our brains.😊
Great idea!! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you Denise for showing me how to be more free in my art! Love your demos so much! Also love your accent & enthusiasm. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Go with the flow and trust the process. It's definitely a lesson I have to practice. Before you pulled the tape, I thought it was a crazy hot mess. Then you pulled the tape, and I was like OK that looks better. But cut, they are gorgeous. I don't know if I would have kept going to the end on my own. Each time I see you push what I think is done, I get a tiny bit braver. Thank you for following your passion for teaching.
Pulling tape is my favorite part!! So glad you enjoy these!! Thank you! 🥰
I love this one so much! I’ve ordered both cubes and can’t wait to start doing art prompts! Love your work! TFS!
So glad you enjoy these!! Thank you! 🥰
I’ve been “riding the art wave” all week. Just doodle with paint and then doodle different textures with a black pen. I love it. BTW, I’m the one that asked if you were ambidextrous.
Haha! You were in my random chatting! I love that. 😁🎨🎨🎨
Those are amazing!!
Glad you like them! Thank you! ☺️
So awesome again! Just found the Facebook group and so excited
Welcome aboard! Thank you! ☺️
I will definitely give this a go...love it❤
Hope you enjoy 😊
I’m a bit intimidated by mixed media but this is a project I can’t wait to try!
So glad you loved it! Thank you! ☺️
💙💙
Thank you! 🥰
lovely....I bought this color cube set, and highly recommend it xx 😘
Glad you like it! Thank you! 😊
Spatter would be good
Yes! 🎨🎨🎨
Very cool
Thank you! ☺️
This is super. Thanks so much for all you share with us, I watch every one. You make me smile with you, when you get excited. I'd love to see you use some pieces in a collage - would you consider doing that sometime too please?
Thank you! ☺️ I have several collage classes on Skillshare, I just haven’t been inspired to do any lately. This channel is new… so you’ll definitely see me go through art phases! 😊
I always look forward to your videos! I find them so calming and relaxing. I watch them before I go to bed. 😊 I like that you can't predict what the finished piece is going to look like. I love seeing the whole process. 💖
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Another great time/video🎉
@14:02 😮 loveee the numbers stencil how it turned out
21:40 thx for tip on brushes and paint types. I wondered on it.
22:40 fantastic idea using Yupo paper to make stencils 😱
26:00 i love the idea of art prompts and the skillshare tutorial would be good to take. It def was fun to just pick some and start painting away. 😊
@29:12 i realized you could cut like this and frame a 3 pieces in one artvpiece. 🤯
Thank you! 🥰
I’m like you in that I really need a reason/purpose for creating something. The only exception to that for me, so far, has been gelli printing - I can just make and pull prints for hours without any purpose other than ‘playing.’
The gelli plate is addicting! I love it too. 😊
You make creating your beautiful art look so easy. Feeling inspired, for my first attempt at art, I tried to mimic this project and it turned out just awful. I am not giving up, though. The good news is that I can only get better. Lol. At least I sure hope so!! I still had a great time. Thank you for your positivity. You are a fun, bright part of my day.
Paint a few more… you’ll get there. The play is part of the fun for me. Thank you!! 😊🎨🤗
I absolutely love your channel and I absolutely love your energy 😁 this is another great idea and I will most definitely be doing this :-) also I love that I can go back and watch your videos from a year or two years ago I wish they had more haha I'm almost out of videos
I am so happy you are enjoying the channel! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗
You are so inspiring! Love how you taped the paper and created one large piece of ART with 12 visually gorgeous areas or can cut into smaller works of ART! I'm loving your videos!! Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🥰
I also love just experimenting, I have so many bits created over the years, in fabric too, actually doing the whole picture is not as much fun........if i do complete something, my daughter has it out of the door and into her home before I can find it missing...:):):):)xx
I love that!! I have quite a bit of my mothers Stained Glass she made and I treasure every single piece. 🥰
Love this color palette, they are the colors I have in my family room. So much fun watching you create, thank you.
Glad you like them! Thank you! 🥰
You should get a discount code for the art cube since you sell it masterfully.
Thank you! 🥰. I haven’t seen any coupon codes from anyone. I really love the cubes. It’s my favorite art tool now! 😊
You inspire me. No art to share yet, but I'm continuing to practice and your videos give me great ideas.
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
You are so much fun and so inspiring. Thank you.
You are so welcome! 🥰
Hi Denise!!! I'm subscribed and I love all your videos You have such great ideas for inspiration!❤
btw: it's pronounced punch- a- nella
& Paw-ska pens. 😘😁❤️
Thank you! ☺️
Good Morning and Happy Friday! I'm not a fan of blue, but these turned out amazing.
Thank you so much! 🥰
So far I'm preferring the color cards you have pulled from cube 2. I was hoping you had a dark blue posca pen to make some dots in the orange! I LOVED how the piece looked without even being cut up - and I thought I might tie them together with some linen embroidery thread to make more marks. How inspiring!
Oooh! I might have a dark blow Posca!! I should have looked in my pens! Thank you! ☺️
I loved this color grouping! Makes sense since I have an orange sectional and a teal recliner! The very last one was my very fave…going to play today! As always thanks for the inspiration! So many !!! ❤
These are right up your alley!! Have fun painting! 🎨
Love these tutorials. I especially like more individual ones bc it creates more possibilities! If you framed these to give away or sell, how would you seal them? Thx.
Thank you! ☺️
Really depends on what I use on the paper as to if I finish it with spray. If it has soft pastels or oil pastels - then I use the Sennelier fixative for pastels. Otherwise, you have issues with the pastels (soft pastels shed and oil pastels tend to never really dry). If I don't use anything like that - I don't usually use a finish spray. I store them in clear art sleeves or frame them. You can use the Krylon artist sprays if you want a good one. Gamvar is good for oil paintings. I'll do a finish video soon showing the options I use.
do you ever test pallets with leaves/plants? I like to do that
Sometimes I do gather interesting things to paint with. I've done some Skillshare classes on making your own things with stuff you find in nature... I haven't done it on any of the youtube videos yet. We'll get there. 😊
Another idea if you do art festivals like I do I could do things like that and give them samples to people with my business card
Great idea! These would be perfect for that! 😊
What type of substrate did u use for these beauties? Fun fun fun
I used Stonehenge 100% cotton watercolor paper.. I link the materials under the video for you in the description! 😊
My need to follow the prompts would not allow me to get away with missing colours/lines on any of the pieces 😅
You can definitely do that... I don't mind so much. 😊
How are you making pigma and Posca pens work over acrylic? I ruined several of mine that way.😢
No idea? I just go for it.
New to your art videos and avidly watching all of your demos and I have a question to ask; What would you recommend purchasing first, the Colour Cubes or the Kuretake watercolours? I can’t stretch to both at once. TIA x
If I had to choose - I go for the watercolors. There are plenty of color palettes online you can use if you want to do some color challenges like I’ve been doing. I have hundreds saved on Pinterest - just search ‘color palettes’ on there and save the ones you love. I have a video coming up using an online paletteS. 😊
Thank you. I never thought of doing a search. Although I do like the idea of having a colour box to “dip” into. Eagerly awaiting your palette video now 😊
Do you sell your paintings?
No, I don’t sell the art. Since I make videos and classes I usually need them later for photos, samples, etc. some are framed and hanging in my house. 😊
