Today is the final day of the challenge, and the task is to paint a bunch of mini paintings in your sketchbook.

In the lesson, I create another grid in my sketchbook. More squares!! This is optional; the main idea is to work small and try out different ways of arranging elements and using light, medium, and dark colours. If you choose to work in layers, you might want to go back and work on your other sketchbook pages while the paint is drying.
For the exercise, I am using:
Daniel Smith Watercolour in Goethite and Naphthamide Maroon
Amsterdam Acrylic Ink in White
Derivan Matisse Flow Acrylic Paint in Antique White and Skin Tone Light
Plus, there's some coffee!
Thank you, everyone, for being a part of the challenge and sharing your creations under the hashtag #creativeelementschallenge.
I’m feeling inspired, and I hope you are too!

Thank you for such a lovely comment. Richie and I are always trying to better ourselves, so comments like yours make us really happy as we work on our respective crafts and skills 💓
Thank you so much for this video, composition can often be overlooked in abstract art but it’s just as important in abstract as it is in other types of art
Thank you Laura ….so enjoying this 🥰 from NZ.. X🍒
your work is my ultimate favorite love every stroke you make, thank you so much, I've bought one of your courses, but so excited about watching your videos, haven't started yet but slowly gathering my bits and bobs along the way.....thank you
Wonderful content and pace. Thanks so much for the lessons.
Dear Laura. I've just come across your Creative Challenge. I love the way you present and share your art and ideas. You have such a generous spirit. I'm a fledgling 'artist' and felt very stuck. I've just watched all 5 videos in a row and feel totally inspired to get going with my own little project. Thank you so much. All the way from Northumberland, England. (love your podcasts with Richie, too).
Wonderful course, that you sooooooooo much. Best wishes, Sondra
I have enjoyed this challenge so much.

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this x
Thank you for this challenge. Even as a mixed media artist, I think this is something I should add to my arsenal of techniques. I could watch you create all day. 😊🤗🇬🇧🌈
Also want to express gratitude for your videos. Just discovered your channel and will sign up for a course this fall.
I’ve throughly enjoyed the entire 5 day challenges. Thank you so very much.
Fantastic Laura. Thanks so much from one Adelaidian to another. I have just discovered you through some overseas KZreadrs and love your work. Will sign up for your next course later in the year when it is offered again but in the meantime this has really set me up for some great ideas.
Such a lovely video. Thank you
What a fun, inviting, and unique challenge! Thank you so much!
Lots of creative ideas thank you for sharing
Thank you for providing the videos for this 5 day challenge. I had so much fun.

I so enjoyed this class - many thanks for providing this on KZread! So much was covered in such a short time, amazing!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have encouraged me to finally take one of those blank sketchbooks which were laying on the shelf for years and use it. Your are a great artist and teacher.
You are so inspiring! Thank you!
What a joyful and beautiful excersize. I can't wait for the weekend to continue with the prompts. Thank you so much, Laura. This was a great and fun challenge ❤

@@LauraHornArt 😊😊😊sometimes have to make that leap of faith to packup many items from my craft space and Procrastination is something I am learning about.
Thank you so much for this 5 day challenge! It was so fun to watch and now I’m going to go play!
Laura i love you gal you are so.talented i am severely ill but i will try all this for.sure
Such a wonderful series, thank you so much for sharing these lessons with us! 💚
thank you for this 5 day challenge, I feel so inspired after watching them all and can't wait to go back and actually tag along the challenges.
dear Laura, because your artwork is so free-flowing and expressive, did you ever come across the issue of replicating your work in a larger scale once you liked a small piece that you made when you first got started?
Love this! Thank you!
This was such a wonderful experience. Thanks so much, Laura
I really enjoyed all the videos in this challenge! Thank you so much for inspiring me!😊
I have enjoyed looking at your art…and this 5 day challenge has been so much fun and liberations…which has been a great leveller when then turning to more composed art. Thank you so much for all your time and sharing …feel so grateful for these videos on KZread ( I am an absolute beginner at watercolour) ❤
This was a great 5 day exercise to get back to my sketchbook. A good reminder to practice and not everything has to be done on a big canvas. I also like that I can do some "brainless" background pages when I don't have the energy to work on a full painting.
Thank you! I will give this a try!
Hi Laura I am loving your Tutorials. I just saw your paper palette - where do you get that from?? and is it suitable for acrylic paints as well as watercolour?? thanks Jill
Amazing challenge. You have a fan here faraway in south of Brazil. Thanks a lot!

This was wonderful Laura, thank you for sharing your Challenge classes, I can see myself using all that I learned in so many ways. I love learning 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for generously sharing your time, expertise and knowledge. It was a nice slow down for me to use my watercolors and acrylic inks. I usually am working with collage and acrylic paint doing abstract mixed media art.

Good evening 🤗 Laura 🌹 Happy Easter Weekend hope you had a wonderful weekend I finally was able to finish my Day 5 pages Thank you for these prompts I really enjoyed and appreciated you do this hope you have a wonderful week ahead ☺️🌹💌🖌️🎨🦄🤗
Thank you for doing this challenge. 🙋🏼♀️🌻🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing this series Laura. I have done the courses previously, and this was a nice little push to go back and use my learning
Hello!! LOVE the colors you used today! And the acrylic at the end Soo pretty! The top left square reminded me of a ballerina on a high swing😊🥰❤️
This process and day 4 really remind me of the book "Abstract Comics" by Andreí Molotiu. It is a collection of abstract experiments both exploring and breaking the boundaries of comics. I think it is one that you would really enjoy checking out if you get a chance! I'm really enjoying this short challenge series!
Thankyou so much for sharing Laura! - each of your little pieces are delightful works of art in their own right! 😊
Thank you Laura, your quiet leading is very inspiring
Thank you so much for sharing these lessons with us! Very inspiring ideas.
Beautiful
Thank you for this Challenge. Your explanations are precise and easy to follow. Beautiful color combinations. Had fun while learning.
Excellent use of mix media! Soft charcoal would be great to add. Love this
