One Journal, Endless Art Styles — Exploring Variety in a Grid

Are you stuck in a creative rut or feeling limited by your art style? In this video, I’m diving into my grid journal to explore 18 tiny abstract paintings, each transformed with a different variation of composition, artistic style, and color ratios. A grid journal is the perfect tool for art experimentation, allowing you to try new styles with more fun and less pressure!

Watch as I play with acrylic paint, mixed media layers, mark-making, and intuitive process-based creativity—some squares turn out beautifully, while others take unexpected turns (and that’s part of the fun!). This low-risk, high-reward approach to painting in a grid journal helps build creative confidence, embrace imperfections, and push past artistic blocks.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced artist, a grid journal is a fantastic way to loosen up, develop your style, and explore multiple abstract art techniques in one session. If you’ve been looking for ways to stop overthinking, take creative risks, and make art more playfully, this video is for you!
