Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- In this captivating color palette challenge video, join me on an artistic journey as I dive into Palette #118 from Color Cube 1. By deliberately stepping outside my normal color range and comfort zone, I embrace the excitement of experimenting with new supplies and techniques. Watch as I paint a large piece using the vibrant colors of the selected palette, and then embark on a fascinating search for smaller abstract art pieces within the larger creation. This process not only liberates me from the pressure of creating something "amazing," but also allows me to play, explore, and learn along the way. Join me in this exploration of abstract art, as I break free from creative boundaries and unleash a world of surprising artistic possibilities. Get ready to be inspired and captivated by the unexpected results of this color palette challenge!

"I'm going to get something amazing when I'm done" is my new mantra!! :)
😁😁😁
I appreciate it when you turn the images around in the frame...not always one way to see the beauty!! Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Thank you!! 🥰
YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Really loving your abstract art. I’ve painted with oils for years but more realism. Now I’m terminally ill and retired from work, I’m trying to get into watercolours because it’s easier with less clean up to save on the energy that I don’t have! But realism with watercolours is something I’m really struggling with. Starting with your abstract art is a great way in for me, and I’m loving trying different media’s out too which I would never have thought of without you! It also frees me up to just relax and have fun more, rather than stressing over a watercolour landscape that I just can’t master! So a huge THANK YOU all the way from Yorkshire, UK 😊x
So glad the way I’m doing things resonates with you. Playing and experimenting and figuring. Out how all your supplies work gets you closer to what you’d love to be creating with out all the pressure we put on ourselves. Thank you! 🥰
Thank you Denise for sharing
You are so welcome 😊
Guess I am the strange one but I loved it all along. It's super cool. I love the colors. I love the designs.
Thank you! 🥰
Another idea for using larger pieces could be to apply to the cover of notebooks, journals, altered books and such! 😊
That's a great idea! 😊
Denise, I have just recently started watching your videos. I have gotten two palettes of paints that I have watched you use. Today I received the Color Cubes. They are so valuable. I can’t thank you enough for your videos. I Love your spirit and I enjoy your enthusiasm so much! Thank you!
Glad you like them! You’ll love playing in those new color palettes! Thank you! 🥰
When there are no expectations, beauty always shows itself. I so resonate with just seeing what unfolds. Love, love, love ❤❤❤
I feel so much better creating art when I start without the expectation! Then I'm happy where ever I end up instead of being disappointed I didn't' get there! 😊
Denise, I just want to say a HUGE thank you for introducing me to the color CUBE, because I bought them after seeing you use them & I LOVE using them! (I used to go on Pinterest & fell down a rabbit hole for HOURS just looking at stuff on Pinterest and not actually doing anything artistic, so having the cubes is great because you pick a card and GET CREATING!)
So glad you love those. I have also collected color palettes on Pinterest for years and then just ended up playing on Pinterest! Ha!! 🥰
I love watching you create, the fun you have and the way it all pulls together is inspiring x
Thank you! ☺️
Another exceptional video
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰🥰
Love these Denise. Second one looked very tropical. Thank you.
Thank you! 🥰
My granddaughter is coming over to paint with me today and guess what we are going to do!!! THIS for sure! Thank you for the inspiration! 🩷💕
Wonderful! Hope you guys have fun!! 🎨🎨🎨
Thank you so much Denise, I really really enjoyed watching you create those two amazing and gorgeous pieces. Yes it did look like a Complete hot mess. But it’s not now, all of those pieces are really really stunning too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!! 🥰
Awesome...I loved all the mark making! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥰
Okay it was a hot mess for a minute Denise but way to turn it around!!! Kudos to whoever suggested the diagonal. I really loved the red and kinda gasped when you put that on. I don’t paint with you but sit and take it all in and because you asked when I do paint I listen to music. But what I really love is listening to your joy and I often giggle or laugh literally out loud and I have to tell my husband that I’m watching you paint on UA-cam. Now my fave thing to say is “Super Fun!”
I love that… super fun! Haha!! It was a hot mess… I can’t believe how good it turned out!! 😁😁😁
It did look like a mess until the very end. I also liked the full sheet as is. I will break out my paints later today and see what I can do.
Have fun painting!! 🥰🥰🥰
‘You’ve got to work through the ugly’. ❤❤❤ Your videos are not only helping me become a better artist but a healthier person. My favorite thing that you say in every video is ‘what if’. It’s such a great life philosophy! I appreciate you so so much! Thank you for sharing your time, talents and most especially your beautiful energy with us in every video you make!
I'm so glad you are finding these helpful! You've really made my day. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Enjoying your videos!
Glad you like them! Thank you! ☺️
You are very inspiring! I love watching your videos. Thank you
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Denise if you take one of your larger mats and cut into two L shapes you can adjust your view size to any size you want by moving inward until you find what you like then mark your cutting lines.
Great tip. Thank you! ☺️
Great video, awesome results! Thanks Denise.
Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Wouldn’t normally select these colors but I do love what you created and it’s a fun example of this exercise and practice!
I wouldn't have picked these either... but these have been such a fun challenge to see how they work out! 😊
So relaxing watching you create Denise...love the second one 😍....I need to play!
Thanks so much 😊
I love that you keep showing what you, and I sometimes refer to as a hot mess. Trust the process is a good motto, just keep drilling it in my head please. lol
So glad you like that! Thank you! 🥰
These reminded me of bees or bee hives. Lovely but you are right, I was worried about it until you whipped up something beautiful as always
Kinda does look like bee hives! 🐝. Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for sharing another fun piece w us. When your saying hot mess, I'm loving the dark maroon boxes. Awesome agian! Back 2 finishing the video! Have a great day
So glad you enjoyed this one!! Thank you! 🥰
Not that you need a frame, as everything you do is amazing to me. Although it is something how a frame can do so much for a painting. I have been using frames lately and I look at my art differently now. I sometimes surprise myself lol Thank you for your video Denise.
A frame does finish off the look so you really get a good feel for a piece! Thank you! 🥰
Love love love it all! I'm going to start with these. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
A PLUS, Gold Star...y've helped me use media mixes in a whole new way!!! Ty
Yay!! Thank you! ☺️
It’s wonderful how it all comes together at the end, despite looking not so good in the beginning. It definitely seems to be helpful to have those mats to find the best place to cut the large piece. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
It is crazy how it all works out in the end! The mats really help me to visualize better what I want to cut out. 😊
YAY!!!!! I get so excited and make silly noises every time I see a new video of yours pop up! ♥️♥️♥️
Yay!! Thank you!! 🥰
Same here! ❤
Une merveille !!!!!
Thank you! 🥰
Awesome.......i gotta try it
Go for it! Thank you! ☺️
New to watching your videos. Just had to tell you how much I enjoy your enthusiasm for creative art! Thank you!
Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
Denise Love - you crack me up so much!!! 🤣 I usually watch these tutorials first, then dive in and while watching today I was literally giggling outloud - see THIS is your purpose in life, to bring joy to others - mission accomplished! Ok - let's see what I can come up with. You made crazy amazing pieces in this challenge. I LOVE THEM !! Thank you for the joy!
You’ve really made my day!! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Turned out great! I was waiting for the gold, you fooled me on this one. lol
Haha!! Fooled you!! I love it 😁😁😁
A great place to find precut framing mats are in pictures at thrift stores. Loved this palette Denise...I hardly use red, but I loved it in this combo!!😊
Great tip! Thank you! ☺️
Ah! So freakin' cool😉
Thank you! ☺️
Love these videos…so inspiring! Very freeing to think in terms of just playing. Going to play around with my grandsons see what abstracts they design!
I love that!! You guys have fun!! 🎨🎨🎨
Im a people and love your 1st cut piece. And, the diagonal piece, girlllll. Was so cool. Wow, great frame pieces. And even extras. It amazes me how colors you never think work. Really work. I get my art room back this week im really ready to begin these challenges. Your skillshare videos are great. Tuvm for sharing.
Thank you so much!! It is crazy how good some of these turn out!! Can’t wait for you to join in. This one was a hot mess… but I loved where we ended up!! 🥰🥰🥰
I am loving your channel and your passion. I have been building up a supply of various medium but still haven’t found the courage to get exploring. You are really inspiring. Thank you. Viv from NZ
Thank you! 🥰
Have to go back and look at some of mine that l thought were terrible and think them over. You make yours amazing.
Ooooh… yes!! You’ll love finding some little treasures to cut out! 😊
I love your “hot mess”…I’m at the point now that any paint, stamps, inks, etc., look absolutely fabulous on paper of any kind…maybe it’s old age…🤨
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I recently subscribed, bought the Colour Cubes as well… I appreciate you, your challenges and your fun upbeat personality! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Enjoyed this! Love the second one you cut out 💕💕💕 thank you for inspiring! Off to try it out 😊
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
Hi Denise, I love your videos! Dear thanks for your great work... I ordered the Color cube bundle today through your links and can't wait to start working with it! Hugs from Germany Katja ❤🙏🏼🫶♥️
Wonderful! Hope you love them... definitely paint with me when you get them!! 😊
So pretty. What fun! I was painting while watching you but I was doing my world watercolour month prompt for the day. I like to make bookmarks from my leftover scraps and donate them to the local library. That way the librarian can hand them out to the patrons when they check out books. I also read somewhere that punchinella is the byproduct of the sequin manufacturing process.
So glad you were hanging out with me while you winter! Yes! Punchinella is sequin waste… I love it 😁😁😁
That’s a Seth Apter stencil girl stencil he has great stencils and foamie stamps
Awesome. Thank you! ☺️
🙏Denise, thank you again for all of the inspiring content here on youtube! I received my 🖌 Kakimori nib and holder today along with inks that I’m hoping will give me a new medium to combine with watercolor and acrylics for some interesting art playtimes! I like the idea of cutting up the large pieces. I will use those for greeting cards. Have a fabulous 4th of July🇺🇸🎇
Fun!! I saw recently that the nibs are oiled - and if you will prep it by cleaning it with a little tooth paste - it will hold ink better when you start using it! Happy painting 🎨🎨🎨
With your page turned portrait, I saw a man with square green glasses in the center of the page. Good video. I need to try your frame method to save some pages of mine that I do not like. Thank you.
Thank you! ☺️
I love these colour challenges...this turned out great. It's 1am here in Australia so I will try this out later...tfs❤
These have been a lot of fun!! Definitely give it a go. This one was a challenge! 😊
Denise, I love the final results. Like you, I worked in the interior design field and colours are in my blood but, I would have never tried those colours. Love the cubes thank you for this fun instructive video once again. ❤. BTW I’m French and truly wish my English is up to par.
Thank you! I wouldn’t have tried those colors either! I love doing these challenges - really helps push outside your comfort zone! I love experimenting! 😊
These are gorgeous Denise! I have finally discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, and I’m thrilled I did! You are such an inspiration and are helping me to understand that I can indeed create art, even though my drawing skills stink!😂 I noticed you are from the Atlanta area and I’m in Sandy Springs. (Hope you survived that crazy storm a couple days back!) Would love to meet you one day, maybe we’ll see each other at Dick Blick!😜
That storm WAS crazy!! I’m on the other side of town… but that Blick is totally worth that drive. I have a friend in Marietta that meets me over there to eat lunch at the Panera Bread in that parking lot. Makes for a fun day out! So glad you are enjoying the videos! Thank you! ☺️
I loved this from the start. You are SO inspiring!
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey Girl! When you first yot this going it reminded me of argyle socks and Fall. Dont know why. It was kind of a hot mess but you ALWAYS turn it around into some fabulous yummminess😂 i gotta get som Detwent chunky chalk. Love rhat green one! Thanks for yet another very fun video!🥰❤️🤗🏜️
That green is super cool! I can see the argyle feeling! Cool! Thank you! ☺️
I also have the color cubes because I had to have them, but haven’t yet used them. Thank you for this great idea! What you do is truly mixed media and I really love the idea of being able to experiment with all those supplies that I’ve been hoarding over the years. By the way, Seth Apter, The designer of the stencil you used, is a wonderful mixed media artist whom I’ve been following for many years. Thank you for your inspiration.
You’ll love getting these out and experimenting with all your supplies!! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I am still waiting for my Color Cubes. Any day now.
@@kimbartholomew8129 The only reason I have mine is that I preordered them before they were actually available. It seems as if I waited ages because they had to get the distribution centers set up in the US.
I ordered my color cube set yesterday morning. I’m in Alaska and wondering how long it will take to reach me 🤔😊
@@kimbranson3374 I don’t know how long it will take, but I believe one of the warehouses is on the West Coast. You might want to reach out to Renee Clark and she can probably give you a better idea.
You are such a treat! I love your videos 😍
I am so glad I found you!
I did want to join you on FB
But I was not able to figure it out.
Not very techie.
Thanks for the fun inspiration 🎉🎉🎉
So glad you are enjoying the videos! Thank you!! 🥰
Would love to see a collage video!
I have several collage classes on skillshare you can check out! www.skillshare.com/en/r/user/2lilowls?gr_tch_ref=on 😊
I never doubt you will make something great out of this ❤
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I love it when you use the color cube. I want one, colors are what motivate me.
The cube has been so much fun! You'll love it. 😊
Have you ever blind cut your art? Like turn it upside down and just cut? I have done that and enjoy the surprise.
Oooh! No I have not!! Fun… definitely going to try that out!! Thank you! ☺️
I love you're enthusiasm and daring. Can't wait to do this later today... fun.
Have fun painting!! 🥰🥰🥰
What a great idea to put the frame on the diagonal that was a good suggestion. I would like to say though you pronounce your version and ignore the corrections on how you say words. We all pronounce things differently and you do you❤.
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Love them both but love love love the second one! You have such an awesome attitude and you inspire me so much!!
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰
Just an update for you and your other followers regarding the Kuretake Mica Gold Paste. I ordered it on Amazon Canada June 5th with an estimated delivery date of July 17th and it arrived in my mailbox from Taiwan June 30th.
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
...not available anywhere in the UK ....
Thanks again Denise for a fun color challenge! I joined in and was happy with the outcome. Love this type of no pressure creating and you just make it fun!
So glad you took the challenge with me! This one was a hot mess for a while! 😁😁😁
Did not think with these colors it was gonna look too good, but of course you surprised me in the end,as always✌️❤️
I had my doubts too!! 😂… glad it came together in the end 😊
Do you recommend a watercolor paper that doesn’t warp? I mainly use the paper (140 lb grumbacher) for very wet acrylic paints. I’m in the beginning stages of my creative journey and would like to up my game. I love your channel!
I experiment on as many papers as I can get ahold of... all watercolor papers warp. Better papers do warp less... and then they lay flat again when they dry. I like cotton papers... so you'll see me work on those quite a bit in my videos. 😊
Wow. I really didn't think you'd get anything nice out of that hot mess! But you did.
I have a question regarding the fixative sprays. If you use both soft and oil pastels on the same piece, do you use both sprays? And in what order?
Oil pastels should be the thing you use last… so I’d do soft… soft spray… oil pastel… oil spray. Just think logically in how you would be layering your supplies when working. 😊
@@2lilowlsstudio Thank you! That's what I was thinking, but both these mediums are new to me, so I wanted to be sure.
Hi Denise! Another great video from you! I was thinking as I watched you frame on the painting to see what you might like that these would be great journal covers. I was wondering if you had done that or if you know if they would work well. I’m wondering whether the watercolor paper would hold up or just get dirty with handling and look funky. Any thoughts?
Thank you! I think they would be great covers - if you don’t plan to handle them a lot like making an art book. Maybe inside cover if you want it to be a working journal. Maybe if you wax it with cold wax - but then you’d want to make sure everything could be coated. Watercolor would be fine to wax. Definitely experiment! 😊
Thank you!
Exactly what @sophiahodgson85 said. Love them!!
Thank you! ☺️
@@2lilowlsstudio Oh, and I forgot to say that I love your abstract art and I'm glad I found you! You've given me permission to just make a hot mess and then figure out what to do with it later. Love that!
@@vickileopold6175 Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
