Welcome back to my art room! In today’s video, I’m continuing my Color Cube series with Volume 1, Palette 17! You’ll see how I layer paints, stencils, and mark-making tools to build depth and movement, and I’ll share some tips on mixing custom colors, using NeoColor II crayons, tempera paint sticks, mica paste, and metallic gold accents. Along the way, I’ll show you how unexpected shapes, playful layers, and even “happy accidents” can turn into beautiful abstract compositions.

✨ What you’ll learn in this video:

How to work with the Color Cube palette in mixed media
Tips for layering paints, crayons, and stencils
How to fold and finish a mini abstract art book
Ideas for breaking creative blocks with playful art

This project was inspired by Denise Love, and it’s such a joyful process — perfect if you’re looking for abstract art ideas, collage inspiration, or a fun DIY mini art book project. Plus, with these festive reds, greens, and golds, the result even gives off some Christmas vibes!

Stencils:
