In this video, I’ll throw out to you an engaging abstract painting warm-up challenge with a simple landscape prompt. Get ready to unleash your creativity and explore the world of abstract art with me!
In this challenge, you will have 15 minutes to create a captivating painting using acrylic paint. To start, choose a color and its complementary color as your main palette. For my example, I've used Titanium white, Mars black, Phthalo green, Green yellow, and Light olive green as my acrylic paint colors.
To begin the exercise, grab your favorite tools such as markers, paintbrushes, pencils, charcoal, or pastels—anything you feel comfortable using to make marks on your surface. The goal here is to experiment with different textures and create interesting marks using your complementary color. Feel free to let your imagination run wild as you explore various techniques and approaches!
Once you've established a dynamic and engaging foundation with your complementary color marks, it's time to introduce the landscape prompt. Keep it simple, yet captivating. Consider elements like rolling hills, a serene beach, or a cozy cabin nestled among trees—let your creativity guide you.
Remember, this abstract painting exercise is all about expressing yourself and embracing the freedom of interpretation. Don't be afraid to push boundaries and explore new techniques during this challenge.
After explaining the guidelines, I will demonstrate my own interpretation of this art prompt. You'll see how I incorporate complementary color marks into my landscape composition using alcohol-based markers ( amzn.to/3qPmeeb). Follow along, be inspired, and see how a simple exercise can yield exciting and unique results.
So, are you ready to take on this abstract painting challenge? Grab your favorite art supplies, set your timer for 15 minutes, and let's dive into the world of abstract landscapes together. Get those creative juices flowing, and let's create some magic on canvas, paper, wood panels, or whatever you have!
