Uncover Abstract Painting Treasures in Your Sketchbook with this Easy Technique

In this video, we’ll go over one way to uncover abstract painting treasures in your sketchbooks and art journals. In this fun and spontaneous art demo, I'll show you one of my favorite and easy techniques for finding those hidden gems within your artwork.

I start off with a quick 8x10 inch intuitive and expressive warm-up painting in my sketchbook. Using a mix of vibrant lime green, rich Winsor blue, striking magenta, bright cadmium yellow light hue, and titanium white acrylic paint, I let my creativity flow freely. I begin by creating random marks with alcohol markers and a fine-tip applicator filled with Mars black acrylic paint.

Once the warm-up painting is complete, the real magic begins. I grab a 5x7 inch white mat and start to analyze sections of the painting, looking for those hidden abstract treasures and opportunities to bring harmony to the artwork. This matting technique is fantastic for focusing on different parts of your artwork and uncovering surprising details that you might have overlooked.

Throughout this art demo, I emphasize the importance of using your sketchbook and art journal as playgrounds for experimentation. They are perfect spaces for discovering new techniques and letting your creativity run wild. As I move the mat around the painting, you'll see how small, framed sections can reveal incredible abstract treasures and inspire new pieces of art.

By the end of this video, you'll have a fresh perspective on how to uncover hidden gems in your sketchbooks and art journals. So, grab your supplies, get comfortable, and join me in this art demo to explore the fascinating world of abstract painting.
