Art Prompt Challenge: Exploring Mark Making & Color Techniques
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 кві 2023
- In this art tutorial, I share my favorite way to create stunning and unique pieces of art. I challenge myself with color palette limitations and specific mark-making techniques to push the boundaries of my creativity. Without worrying about composition or the outcome, I paint on a large piece of paper and then cut it up into smaller pieces of amazing art. This tutorial is perfect for artists of all levels who want to explore abstract art and unlock their creativity. Join me and let's create something beautiful together!

You are just a delight to listen to.
Thank you!! 🥰
Exactly !! You are a gift ! Thank you 🙏🏼 😊🎉
@@nanab888 Thank you!! 🥰
Ok so I was feeling grinchy but then you started making weird sounds while you paint and it totally put a smile on my face. Thank you so much Denise ❤🌸
Lol!! Art is more fun if you can be a little silly while you create!! 😁😁😁
I love how silly and joyous you are! Bravo to the people that raised you to be confident and free to share your talent and joy! I love when you use a goofy voice when you are excited. My best friend and I are the same way!
Art is more fun when you are being a little goofy!! I love that you guys do it too!! 🥰🥰🥰
You just keep killing me with your art and most of all your charisma in-between
Thank you! 🥰
You know I’m a fan but I have to say this is my favorite of all the pieces I’ve seen you do. Just gorgeous and write in my wheelhouse of colors. So much so that I just ordered for Amsterdam ink! So happy you started doing UA-cam videos addition to your Skillshare classes.
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰… I’m always surprised at how pieces come out… I love how this set ended up too. That turquoise is just so pretty!! Thank you for following me on skillshare and here!! 🤗🤗🤗
I love this! I'm always amazed how you can start a piece that looks like a toddler was let loose with the art supplies, and end up with beautiful creations! Love the colors too!
It always surprises me too!! 😂 Thank you! 🥰
I’m in love with the turquoise green ink, too. Gonna have to go get some indigo, now. 😊
You’ll love the indigo with the turquoise! 😊
Your voiceover style has a unique character that reminds me of Julia Child’s. So unmistakably yourselves. Love listening to as well as watching you work. Thanks for sharing exactly what and why you work.
I love that! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Your art noises are what endeared me to your classes to begin with. Your enthusiasm is contagious. ☺️ #ArtNoises
Art is more fun if you can be a little goofy! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
A marvellous adventure. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you! 🥰
Denise I just love you!❤❤❤...your tutorials are so helpful and ive been painting almost every day and am noticing such big jumps in ability and my works look better and better.....and your style is beautiful, funny and so generous of spirit.....God bless you love....wish you lived down the road from me so I could visit you too often and become annoying....😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Haha! I need more art peeps that live closer! So glad you are painting almost every day! Thank you! 🥰
I could watch you all day long! Thank you for your amazing videos. You’re an inspiration
Thank you! 🥰
Aw I've just found you today and I'm so happy ❤
Your art is beautiful but so are you! Your enthusiasm is jusy intoxicating and u r a pure joy to listen to and watch!
Thank you for sharing your talent xxx
Thank you! You’ve really made my day! 🥰
this is a really interesting way of creating! I think I'd be too scared to cut up my paintings haha 😂
It gets easier after the 1st one... I start painting now with the intention of cutting it up. Frees me to have fun when i'm painting and not worrying about the outcome. 😁
@@2lilowlsstudio ah okay that’s a really good idea, I might try it 🥰
I believe this project is one of my very favorites of yours ♥️ the colors, the way the design came out … just stunning - as a whole and as individual pieces 😁
Thank you! 🥰
Love this color palette and the yummy marks. Going to do a piece to cut.
have fun!! 🎨
The reveal is amazing!
Thank you! 🥰
I like big circles and I cannot lie. 😂
Hahah!! 😆
Your smile is so beautiful and genuine!!
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely LOVE this colour palette!!! This turned out so gorgeous. Can’t wait to try it 😊!
I still love these colors too!! Thank you! 🥰
This is just beautiful! I am new to your channel. Am really enjoying the randomness of your art.
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
more than voicemail, yve given me a new sound system to superimpose over every icky tv, platform or face to face encounter. everyone & everything is become a canvas to color on, drip past, resist fixing and enjoy coming or going. and... ii get to cut them up, cut them off or repurpose altogether...
I love that! So glad you are having fun 🥰🥰🥰
Love this! 🎨💕
Thank you! ☺️
I love these videos, they are full of unlimited energy. 😊☀️🌟
Thank you! 🥰
Stunning. Love the colors.
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
This colour combo is sooooo pretty. Thank you for sharing this with us :)
Thank you! 🥰
Fabulous, Denise !!!
Thank you! ☺️
❤❤❤❤ LOVE THESE
Thank you! 🥰
Gorgeous simply gorgeous!!
Thank you!! 🥰
I love the colors ❤Thank you ❤
Thank you! 🥰
😂 ha ha ha! I LOVE how excited you get - it’s infectious!! I 100% suffer from “white page paralysis”
Art is more fun when you can be a little goofy!! Thank you!! 😁
Denise, you reached for the pipette and I paused the video and put some in my cart on Amazon. When I came back and started this up again you were saying “everybody needs pipettes!” Lol…I agree! I’m feeling tortured watching you choose what you are choosing…there is a two toned heart with half of it with dots. Yay I love all of your choices and the heart is intact with the white swirls on the side! I can breathe again. Lol. Btw, I started my own today after watching you for a week or so. Just wish I had some turquoise ink.
Lol!! Everyone needs pipettes!! I know what you mean watching… and thinking… good choice… nooooo bad choice…. Haha… I didn’t even notice that heart til later… now that is my favorite bit! 😊
Amazing colours, thank you for sharing😊
Thank you! 🥰
Awesomeness
Thank you! ☺️
Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤
Thank you! 🥰
J’adore votre travail et votre belle énergie …mais je n’arrive pas à reproduire vos cris d’enthousiasme !!!!😂…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 🥰
What beautiful works of art. Looks like fun to do.
Thank you! ☺️
Again so gorgeous these are, i love your techniques and freedom!
Thank you!! 🥰
Totally Awesome❤️ You have inspired me to try this!!! Thanks. Will be watching more of your videos!!!!
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
I love this
Thank you! 🥰
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 🥰
Love love love it!!
Thank you! ☺️
I love your art!
Thank you!! 😊
You make me want to eat the artwork 😂❤❤❤
Haha! Thank you! 🥰
These colours are absolutely stunning! I can hardly wait to try this out myself!
Have fun!! Thank you! ☺️
@@2lilowlsstudio It looks like SO much fun, and I've been wanting to make a very nice art card for somebody and I think this is going to be how I do it! Yummy!
I forgot why I bought pipettes, but I am so glad to have them. Thank you for the inspirational video.
I love having pipettes! They are super handy! 😊
That is a gorgeous color-scape. I really do love these!
Thank you! ☺️
Love the free style of the process! Hope to give this technique a try.
Thank you!! 🥰
This was so much fun! I love all your videos but oooh I really like ink and fan brushes❤😊
Thank you! 🥰
Absolutely beautiful. So glad to come across this video. Superb inspiring. Thank you
Thank you! 🥰
WAAAAAAY out of my comfort zone! But I am going to try this technique with my watercolors. Don't have any inks. Ordered a white Posca pen but it's not here yet. I guess part of my challenge is seeing what I actually have to work with.
You can paint these with anything you have on hand! You don’t need inks. I like trying different supplies every time I do these ☺️
I absolutely love your silliness when you're creating your beautiful art pieces. The way you laugh while you work, tickles me so much. I'm a subscriber for life.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful approach!
Thank you! 🥰
Love this!
Thank you! ☺️
Make several copies of the art piece in color laser print and use it in other collages. I do that when I have a good piece that I love and use some of the sections over and over again in other artwork
Great idea! Thank you!! 🥰
Hi Denise, Love this process, the colors...all the way to how you make "the cut." I only recently started painting and fell in love with doing gouache abstracts. Very different from what you're doing, and that's why I love watching other artists. So much to admire, so much that inspires. :)
So glad you enjoyed this video! I love watching how others do things too. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
All of the pieces you cut out were seriously, the exact same ones, to the T, that I would have cut out. Super crazy. This is one of my favorite pieces and the colors together are so beautiful! Have a great day
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
So amazing .... loved this video ... I think I'm going to love to play with inks!!!🤩 ... excellent advise in how to approach your paper ... I think I have that etched in my head ... play experiment and be brave😁 ... thank you Denise ❤
Ha! I love that. Thank you! 🥰
I love your funny excited noises! It gets me so inspired to create myself ❤
Art is more fun if you can be a little goofy when you are creating!! Thank you! ☺️
Absolutely love your videos, thank you so much! Stevie, York, UK
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I just love your videos and art. Super fun.
Thank you very much!🥰
Explosión de energía !!! turquesa, uno de mis colores favoritos y esa combinación es magnífica con el dorado. Gracias 👏👏👏
Thank you! ☺️
Omg this is so beautiful loving the colour combo just gorgeous
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
There were so many beautiful areas in this. Awesome!
Thank you!! 😊
Wonderful! I love the colours you used. I also love your accent. I’m Canadian so I expect you’d think I have an accent too! I once lived in Florida and my American friends loved to hear me say “roof”. Your pieces are really lovely. Composition can be difficult and you handle it with ease. I’ll be binge watching your videos as we Smokey Canadians and Americans in states by the northern border stay inside as much as possible waiting for the forest fires to be extinguished. 🌸🎨🖌️
So glad you are enjoying the videos! Those fires are terrible. I’ve seen some photos of how thick the smoke is up north. Hope they make progress on those.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ☺️
Beautiful art! I saw a heart shape in one of the final pieces. So cool
Thank you! That heart is my favorite bit now! 🥰
I love your abstract work…inspiring and encouraging for me to trust the development of the possibilities that lie ahead on the paper..Thank you and blessings for your creativity. ❤
So glad you are here! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I love how you work. You have really inspired me. Im excited to try this. Thank you.
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Very cool! Love it! I strive for this stuff! Maybe I try too hard !
You can do it! Thank you! ☺️
@@2lilowlsstudio keep telling me that! I told you what a disaster I had the day I thought for sure I could pull off a “Denise” …lol… the only cutting that helped that was a paper shredder….🤣
@@swl9270 oh no! I’ve been there!! 😂
If you love multiple spots you could scan it in to your computer and make endless copies to digitally cut up 😊
Yes!! Such a fantastic idea... and if you are unsure of where to go with a piece... you can make copies to practice before you mark on the original!! such a good idea. Thank you!
I’m painting along, same colours but I swapped brown for cool grey as I was in the mood. I’m at the *resisting stage* excited to see how it dries 😊😬
You can do it! 🎨🎨🎨
@@2lilowlsstudio I did, and it looks freaking awesome! Now for finishing touches and ✂️
Oh my god this color scheme is so beautiful! Also, this is not related to rt but my favorite people are the ones with a contagious laugh and now you became one of my favorite UA-camrs 😅💙
Thank you!! You've truly made my day!! 🥰🥰🥰
I thought it was too dark at first but Denise put her magic touch on it and BAM!.... masterpieces! I love it! I don't usually work with dark colors but she is really encouraging me to try it. Thanks Denise!
Wonderful colors and very inspiring to watch.
Did you notice the little brown-golden dotted and white heart in 21:44 on the right?? It wasn't planned but looks so pretty.
Right? I noticed that heart later!! It’s my favorite bit! Thank you! 🥰
Denise, have you ever added Saran Wrap for texture to just portions? I love the look…this is beautiful
Yes, great trick!! Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing how you created these gorgeous pieces. I am new to your channel and love your work!
So glad you are here! Thank you! 🥰
Denise, love this color combo. At 23:18 timestamp, the last piece you picked up, I see an eye in the right middle side of the cutout. Does anyone else see that🤔?
Fun! Thank you! 🥰
Love your spirit and energy. This is such a wonderful artistic project. Where are you from, girl? Love the southern accent. :)
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰 I’m from Atlanta… 😁
@@2lilowlsstudio you may be one of few native Atlantans 😊. I used to live in East Cobb but am originally from Chicago. I think I knew more native Yankees in ATL than southerners!
Sure wish I had started my art journey when I was living so close to you. And before COVID when people still did in person workshops!!
@BB-nz5sk my good friend lives on the Marietta side of Atlanta! When I was a kid there were fewer than 1 million people in Atlanta… now there are over 8 million. It is crazy… and not in a good way! So hard to get around… pretty soon the whole state of Ga will just be Atlanta - everything is sprawling out so far. Where I live used to be the middle of nowhere… not anymore! 🤪🤪🤪
Just found you… you’re so much fun 🤩
Thank you! 🥰
I see a heart on the 5 x 7. Half brown speckle the other half white
Yes!! I saw that later too. One of my favorite bits now!! 💙💙💙
Another great video! What do you do with your cut up pieces of painting? Make them into greetings cards? Frame them? Mount on small boards? Or all of them?
I keep the pieces. All those are great to do with them, and do collages! Thank you! 🥰
I love that one. I need to know what is the name of you pen that you use with your gold mica, now that I have the gold mica ... I need the pen and where did you get it? You did it this time 5 art pieces out of one sheet. That is amazing, an so are you, I just love watching you. This one you have hitit out of the park girl. I loved it.
Thank you! 🥰. I list all the supplies in the description for you! Those are: Kakimori Brass Nib - shop.stlartsupply.com/products/kakimori-brass-nib
Kakimori pen holder - shop.stlartsupply.com/products/sakura-wood-pen-holder
Love, love, love this piece! Do you ever take pictures of your art before you cut it up? I would have had a really hard time cutting this one up, but I also loved some if the smaller options.
Thank you!! I loved these too. Sometimes I take photos or scan them in before I cut them up... but when filming a video - I just go for it... I liked the smaller pieces too. If I had totally hated it - you probably wouldn't have ever seen the video see the light of day... LOL!
Just found u I love the energy. 😂 I thought I was a lone weirdo lol.
LOL! I love that!! 😆. Thank you 🥰
@@2lilowlsstudio you are more than welcome. I'm silly with my art too. Love to play❤️
@@dawnborchert772 Sillyness makes it so much more fun!! 😁
@@2lilowlsstudio absolutely . You inspired me to get my coffee and break out the paints
@@2lilowlsstudio I need to learn to play. I take everything too seriously.
What type of gold paint did you use?..they are gorgeous!!
I use the Kuretake ink and paste - I love them! I have linked them below the video for you. 😊
Love this. Question: you said you don’t sell them. What do you do with them? I think they’re very sellable.
Thank you! 🥰 I talk about why I don't sell art and what I do with it in my latest studio update: ua-cam.com/video/Epg0UsTx1_0/v-deo.htmlsi=TNg7AbbyAVFBs9vE
I keep most of the things I paint since I make videos and classes… I store them in plastic art sleeves. Sometimes I need them to photograph and I use them as samples. Some I have framed in my house. I have given a few as gifts. My goal isn't to sell art - so I have not put them up for sale since I might need them again for something.
Loved this video!!! I have different size view finders I made, but the cutting out process
from a large abstract is amazing!! would like to send you a sample of my work if
possible. Your work is great🥰
So glad you enjoyed it! You can tag me on Instagram if you post stuff there. @2lilowlsart
Thos one is my fave so far that ive watched from you. While you were loving the lower right i was living the lower left. That one circle looked like a bubble to me& like looking through a bubble. Soo pretty! Im just getting started with abstract in a way- intentional abstract. And I love cutting paintings up too! But I am going to make or get some view finder mats because I love how I'll be able to find small pieces in my big pieces! Thanks so much for teaching and sharing!!❤️🥰❤️
So glad you enjoyed this project!! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
If you cut your frame so that you have 2 x L shapes, you won’t be limited to size when looking for your best bits.
Oooh! Such a great tip… we could mark sizes on the sides too… I love this idea! Thank you! ☺️
I have a question. I'm 100% new to this type of art and love everything I see you doing. So,my question is, "What is Punchinella"? I'm sure it's not spelled correctly. Can't find anything. 🙏Thanks💖
It is a metal strip that they punch sequins out of...sequin waste... I got mine off Etsy.. something like this: www.etsy.com/listing/1459279773/3-yards-stencil-material-scrim-polka
This tim holtz stencil I just got recently - bubbles - is very similar too: amzn.to/43KWTAx
@@2lilowlsstudio Thank you so much 💗
I'm gonna start leaving my recorder on while I create -- I know I'm NOT silent. 🙂
Haha! Love that. 😁
What's the pen called again you use for inks?
I post all the supplies in the description below the video for you! 😊
Has anyone found a paper that your inks don’t bleed through other than yupo?
I haven't found any. Maybe thicker paper - heavier than 140lb might work for you.
How much for that first framed piece you showed? I'm interested.
Thank you! ☺️
@@2lilowlsstudio You're welcome. Do you sell them?
@@lyricalstorms no. I don’t sell them.
@2lilowlsstudio awwww.... OK... well... I'll keep enjoying them from afar. 😆 🤣 😂 Love your work and thank you so much for sharing it and your wonderful personality. 😊
Did you notice the heart you created Brown with gold dots and other half is white
Yes!! That’s my favorite bit. I saw it a few days after I made these 😁
@@2lilowlsstudio omg I love it... My daughter and I are huge on hearts..... She is always finding heart shaped things... Like rocks...I love it!
very fun. I found you from a sketchbox grab bag review. I get their monthly box too. What are you taping your paper to? I have a larger board with a handle but I like the smaller size that you are using.
That board is a hardboard art board. I have a few sizes of those. You’d love using them. Here is one like mine you can check out: www.amazon.com/Ampersand-Hardbord-11-14-each/dp/B0027A79HI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=58441005974&hvadid=410090014313&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9011035&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6142412594724999119&hvtargid=kwd-518394121833&hydadcr=15405_11431013&keywords=hardboard+panels+for+artists&qid=1685205397&sr=8-3
