This painting practice focuses on how to choose and mix vibrant colors while playfully express your own voice and style.
Materials:
• 30x30" stretched canvas • Heavy body and liquid acrylic paints • Brushes • Palette • Optional: spray bottle with water, rags, household items for stamping, marking, and scratching
• Light a candle or incense, and play some hypnotic music, nature sounds, or a meditation. • Have your sketchbook nearby for doodle inspiration. • On your palette, squeeze out some white and black paint, plus a few colors you're feeling drawn to. • With movement and emotion, let your paint spread across the canvas. • Use the Painting Prompts pdf below to keep moving if you get stuck.
Sketchbook Reflection:
• Write any thoughts before, during, and after the painting about your experience. Highlight any key revelations.
