Abstract Art with a Moody Neutral Color Palette
Come paint with me as I continue filling my Bare Spine Beauty journal with abstract mixed media pages inspired by Color Cube palettes. In this video, I work with rich browns, deep black, soft white, and shimmering gold to explore how changing the dominant color on each page shifts the mood of the whole spread. I layer Holbein gouache, expressive pencil marks, white details, and Kuretake gold mica ink to build texture, movement, and contrast across these taped-off journal compositions. This abstract art journal session is full of earthy color palette inspiration, mixed media layering, and creative ideas for adding warmth and elegance to handmade journal pages.
