Abstract COMPOSITION Sketchbook Exercise - Day 5 (Creative Elements Challenge)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today is the final day of the challenge, and the task is to paint a bunch of mini paintings in your sketchbook.
🎨 5-DAY Creative Elements Challenge 🎨
🌿 Access the supply list 👉 geni.us/INKCd
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!

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).

    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.
