I don’t have a deck of prompts, but I do have a couple of things I fall back on when I get stuck. 1) set a timer for 15-20 minutes, and collage only with scraps; I have a specific journal for this, and I usually fill that faster than any of my other journals. 2) Another thing I do is to pull three colours to use as a modified primary colour palette. For example. I use pink instead of red, or instead of blue I use purple, instead of yellow I use gold, and then I get to mixing them and see what other colours I can make with them. I will sometimes just swatch them out in my journal or I might even do some kind of simple blends and gradients with the new colours- but the trick is to always make sure to have either all cool or all warm colours so that it doesn’t make mud. Quite often this colour mixing exercise sparks an idea and then I just go with it, but even if it doesn’t I still like to play with the colours until I’m finished and then I get to have a new page in my swatch journal.
Oooh! Those are fantastic! I’m so glad you shared them! Thank you! ☺️
Oh my gosh! I have been in such a slump, watching all kinds of videos, even yours, and just not being able to get going on anything. I don’t have the right supplies, I can’t think of a color scheme, even when you present one I don’t have those colors or things that are close to them. I just haven’t been able to create anything. So when I saw this video, I thought, I could do that! So I made some little 2 x 2 squares and on the second one, it said make a mark you’ve never made before. I stumbled into making a mark that I absolutely love!! It got me so excited to make art again! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!❤
Oh yay!! I love the prompt cards for when I get stuck!! So glad that worked for you too! 🥰🥰🥰
thick and thin lines
long and short lines
add stripes
botanicals
tiny rainbows
use bright yellow
paint with anything but the brush
add coloured pencil/woodies/inktense
scratch the surface with the end of a brush / stick
use earth tones /neutrals only
add zig zags / triangles
add neon colours
paint with a feather / leaf / twig
i look forward to building a set of prompts to explore different ideas and techniques. thanks for sharing
Oooh!! Good ones! Adding those into my prompt cards now! Thank you! 🥰
Love the video. For a prompt use anything but a paint brush. Like a toothbrush, kitchen sponge, even a leaf.
Good ones!! Thank you! ☺️
* use plastic wrap over wet paint; let it dry
* use drops of alcohol (70% or more)
These two prompts will create very different textures but also very unexpected results!
As always, I love your experimentation, guidance and inspiration!🙏🧡💙💛💚❤️
Great ones. Thank you! ☺️
Denise these cards are fun and have great ideas. I do not need those....I have you LOL. Thanks for the ideas and have a wonderful day.
Thank you! 🥰
I love to use blank or stamped tissue paper because it makes a cool texture with watercolors and the Mod Podge gives you a surface that is more forgiving if you want to wipe off some color. Also, with stamped tissue, you already have a prompt!
I love doing resists too. My favorite is crayon and watercolor. 😊
Great one! Thank you! ☺️
@@2lilowlsstudio You're welcome and LOVE your videos!!!! 🥰🤩
Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate that you typed all the prompts in the video description. ☺️❤
Glad it was helpful! Thank you! 🥰
You have struck a spark in me!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills and talents. I am just in love with your joy and enthusiasm!!! Again thank you for giving me this creative pleasure.
Thank you! You’ve really made my day! 🥰🥰🥰
How lovely to have prompt cards. Great ideas and you already have so many.
I sometimes just look outside pick up 2 things I see 1st and then use that to paint.
Collect pebbles when gone to any beach and paint those or leaves from walks I've been on
See sky and what shape do I see work with that shape to create a piece or abstract art
Have list of quotes that inspire me so use those as a pickup word or words from it and create something from that
Sometimes when I can't think of anything then I look at the clothes I am wearing and choose just those colours to put on paper and see what I come up with.
Great ideas to add! Thank you! ☺️
Thanks so much for this. I had thought of making some prompt cards for my art making, but needed some ideas beyond the basics. So I put prompt cards into a UA-cam search and up you popped. Just the job, with some great ideas. I suspect your list will generate some more ideas for me too. You are just SO creative!
So glad this was helpful! It’s fun when you get stuck to pull one and see where the ideas lead you! 🎨🎨🎨
I use the Sketchbook Idea generator by Jennifer Orkin Lewis sometimes. I bought the meditation deck but have not used it as of yet. I also like the book Color Harmony for Artists by Ana Victoria Calderon. Now I am inspired to possibly make my own. Or maybe you should create and market some!
Those are great resources!! Thank you! 🥰
Thank you ❤ great ideas ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Hello Denise, love your channel, your work, you and your passion! Looking forward to making some prompt cards this way, thank you. 💖 I can add 2 prompts I love... use a squeegee, & dry brush lightly over raised paint that has dried ~ a happy accident I found that gives a 2 tone effect 😊
Thank you and thank you for for adding to our list!! 🥰🥰🥰
Black and white + one. Pick one color to use with b&w
Great one! Thank you! ☺️
Thanks!
Eeek! You’ve really made my day! Thank you!! 🥰
I’m obsessed with this idea!! Thank you for the continued inspiration ❤
You are so welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
This is a great idea. I cut paper strips and put a prompt on one side in pink and a prompt on the other side in green. My plan is to pull 5 and match the colors...all pink or all green.
PS I just love your energy and excitement! I get tickled at myself when something turns out super cool. Much like you do.
Colored sides is a great idea! I have another video coming out soon where I took this idea and cut up old art for my cards. Those are my favorite now. I love that you get excited too!! 😊😊😊
Oooh I was just thinking that I have some extra watercolor post cards that I don't know what to do with and this will be perfect! Thanks for the idea 🥰
Oooh! Those would be perfect!! ☺️
I love Watchung you. You have been inspiring..I have never been able to do an art challenge ever...I have tried and tried and I get stuck..but I will try this...
Thank you so much! 🥰
Very cool ideas...thank you for the inspiration! 😀
So glad you liked the idea! Thank you! ☺️
This is brilliant! Love it! Going to start one right now while watching the rest of this. 😊
These are super fun.. you'll love pulling from there when you want new ideas or get stuck! I love my prompt cards. 😊
Another great one
Thank you! ☺️
Do some scratching into a painted area to make marks by removing color.
Good one! Thank you! ☺️
I love this idea! What kind of paper cutter do you have? I have been working on a series of smalls, and cutting with scissors is sometimes wonky...lol
I have an older Fiskars SureCut Portable Paper Trimmer, 12 Inch Cut - amzn.to/3p1hAc0
and i love it because you can replace the blade easily with replacement blades.
Use a stencil, or stamp an image
Oooh! Good ones. Thank you! ☺️
Use rainbow colours
Ooh! Good one! Thank you! ☺️
