- In this sped-up tutorial video, I’ll guide you through the process of creating six abstract thumbnail painting sketches, showcasing how these exercises can enhance your art skills and practice for better art.
I start the simple art warm-up exercise with a Pointliner pen to make random marks on my sketchbook. This isn't about perfection-it's about loosening up and getting the creative juices flowing. With a limited palette of burnt umber, light olive green, permanent blue light, and titanium white, alongside a few posca paint markers, I demonstrate how less can indeed be more.
Thumbnail painting practice isn't just about painting; it's about exploration and innovation. Throughout this video, you'll see me use these 6 abstract painting thumbnail sketches as a tool for grid journaling, a method that helps organize thoughts and ideas visually. This exercise is an excellent way for artists to warm-up, practice for better art, reduce pressure, and experiment with color and composition without the commitment to a full-sized piece.

Lovely.
Very nice abstract thumbnails!
Brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. LOL from
I really liked the two first ones you showed at the end they were extraordinarily nice and the last one was also. I hope your adventure out into the big world was excellently fun😊. As always I thank you for the videos, I want more so keep them coming as long as you're willing. Cheers!
Great advice thanks. I would never have thought to intentionally pick colours that look like they wouldn't play well together, I love this idea! (I think it's actually my rebellious alter-ego that loves it most!) : )
You have some wonderful marks and expressions in these little pieces - I can see you taking these elements and making them into a beautiful big painting
love these!!! both the colours and composition of each one are fantastic!!! ✨🎨🔥
Big Yes to all the reasons you give, Chris. Great to kick start after a break...😊😊😊 got a long weekend coming up and I may do some of this just for fun.
Like all of them...put on substrates in a LARGE format... while we warch. Ann, Florida fan
Excellent video. Thanks 😊
Thank you, great video as always.
I love these. Could you tell me what kind of paper you are using?
I love them! But how did the edges get so clean? I didn't see any tape.
This is a great exercise and I have also done this with collage. It's been awhile and I want to do it again. What are you using for a paint palette? It looks like a tile?
Hi, wird jede Schicht getrocknet bevor man eine weitere aufträgt?
