- Here is a quick way to get paint down on paper, or even canvas. I love starting this way when I don't have much time and want something to be bold and full of juice. It has everything to do with the way you apply the paint.
Starting boldly or using different tools that aren't necessarily found in an art store, can get you stretching beyond boundaries right away. It is a super-fast way to create rich, luscious backgrounds.
Tomorrow we are launching the Creative Breadcrumbs Challenge.
This concept of starting boldly will be very helpful for the artwork we will be creating together in the challenge.
Later today (Sunday, Sept. 12th at 12 pm PDT), once these backgrounds dry, I will be returning to teach how to use stencils. It is one of the fastest, most amazing ways to make marks.
Click here to join the Creative Breadcrumbs Challenge:

Let us know in the comments how you create bold, first marks in your art.
See you later today at 12:00pm PDT right here on TH-cam to learn all about stenciling!

PS: The Creative Breadcrumbs Challenge starts tomorrow, September 13th! It's all about finding and making the art that brings you alive.
I hope you'll join me!

This makes all the difference.
Just found your channel. So excited to get painting.
I'm so impressed with your ability to break the rules, bend the mindset and remind us that we can relive our childhood days of freedom to explore what is alive within.
Just came from Denmark. These are the kind of beautiful rich comforting colors you see over there on everything. You hardly see any primary colors.
this is so helpful! Thanks for sharing with us - you are so generous. You help me see where my 'rules' to myself hold me back. No more rules!
NIC, your language when you describe colours makes me feel sane. I honestly salivate when making coloursnanf feel I could eat them, like chocolate. Of course I wouldn't 😂 but you give me peace of mind. ❤️
Ugh I can't edit. *colours and feel.
Love every second of this!!
Best colour principle ever!
Me and my big cup of coffee will be there. 🙏
Nick, does there ha e to be a story or a specific feeling to abstract art? Or are just random marks a feeling?
Oh, my gosh-- that was so much fun! I now have 5 backgrounds to use during your 3 PM (EST) broadcast. 🎨
I love the paper rolling, it has added to my visual 'dictionary' of pleasurable deliciousness!
So helpful! Off I go 2 go big. Love that you use the word delicious to describe colour. Palette and palet can't be a coincidence
Just found you from Treasure Island Florida!!! So happy to be here and start my first challenge workshop with you in March 2024. Thank you for sharing your gifts and story of inspiration
Wow "Treasure Island" is a real place. I thought it was fictitious since my England school days. Enjoy your creativity.
Thank you for the relaxation!
Always appreciate your insights and they way you demonstrate the techniques to support your ideas
so enjoyable, thank you, really took over my week in the most enjoyable way. 💖
Just found your channel- love it. Thank you for this color mixing and background tutorial. Love love love
I am so happy I found you!!
Can’t wait to start mixing my colors!!! 🤗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I thought I could paint. This was so wonderful for me. Thank you!!!
Thank you! Exciting simplicity!
@art2life So with the excess paint that is left over I like to keep excess index cards and extra papers close by to lay on top to create new blobs or take saran wrap to lay over the excess paint and press gently to transfer it onto the wrap to place on other substrates.
Last I may use a scraping tool or a brayer to lift the paint and spread across the new papers to make more new marks and the same can be done with the paper towel gently doing the same thing for your substrate.
I have a hard time throwing leftover paints especially if they are good for another piece.
Good ideas. Yes. Nick is wasting a lot of paint here, although these ARE helpful tips.
I am poor and can't afford to waste paint, so thank you for generously sharing your tips on using excess paint!
@@b.bailey8244 I still watch what I use and there are ways to extend paint gloss medium,airbrushmedium,gac100,retarder mediums to extend the quantity of paint without compromising pigment of paint.
Water also can extend your paint yet often will reduce the paint pigment and vibrancy to where is often reduced.
So much is experimentation.
Color theory learning and using your primary paints to create the array of colors, once you begin to experiment the use of color is endless.
I found a site that allows you to create colors that are carried by well known brands but in craft paint.
Look on art stores sites often they will run sales on the premium brands. That is the time to buy either a tube,bottle in the color you may need.
What I learned is by using certain amounts or paint you have the opportunity to create the layers you see and love,making marks and so much more, and at the end if there is left over I still create chaos layers(mixed of what is left) on pieces of paper for collage or a underpainting for future painting.
If that is not a option regarding sales try craft paint just to explore until you get the brand paint.
JoAnn,Michaels,HobbyLobby,Jerry'sArtorama,Blick and Utrect all have great sales if in USA.
As a budding artist try not to let the finances deter you from creating,experiment,learn,and express,supplies you can obtain over time.
I hope this helps you. I
I had learned,watched videos,researched,practiced and these are things you will experience. Enjoy the process and the time creating.
It will all work out for you.
@@b.bailey8244 If you are in the Unites States and have a store called pop shelf they carry a brand if acrylic paint called Monte Marte it is 2.00 a tube and it is a little thicker than a fluid craft paint and less heavy than a heavy body. Great pigments and they also carry craft paint there too.
They have a online store as well. And Walmart carries a brand called Grumbacher and even their brand is really economical and highly pigmented.
Hope this helps, it will be easy on your expenses and allow you to create. Get red.yellow blue,black and white and you can make dozens of colors from these combos
@@b.bailey8244 If I wanted to experiment with techniques like this I would use poster paints from the dollar store. But some of what he is doing is guided by principles of the colour wheel. It's not hard at all - get a book from the library and make swatches. A lot of art youtubers think it is less threatening ( or something) to tell beginners to "be free" or "play", but that depends on luck and can give disappointing results. There are principles you can easily learn behind the successful results.
I like the paper roll effects. I'm looking forward to stencils, as I've begin to use these a lot in my art.
i'd love to see your next pass on these starts that you demonstrated.
I’m really looking forward to Breadcrumbs to learn all these wonderful things I am likely to be fast asleep when it is launched but on awakening I will definitely watch it and do the exercises Can hardly wait Nick and thank you for putting on for all of us Re starting a painting I usually map out what I would like to do on the canvas \ wood or whatever and then try to adjust lines to make it flow and then start painting cheers !!!! From middle Australia
i'm gonna try these tomorrow morning!
You are such a cool dude. Love these techniques and will definitely apply the colour and background technique on my next canvas.
Wow thank you so much for this. I am learning so much from you.
Just brilliant. Thank you.
Looking forward to the bread crumbs challenge learned a lot from you already love the way you explain how to achieve different techniques 🙏 uk
It looks pretty amazing and I am so excited to see how my own work progress when I dont spend all my time hating the color.
Mind blown😮
I love this instruction!
Super cool! Thanks for sharing!
How fun!
This was super! Can't wait to try it.
Thank you for your help.
You are very interesting to just watch you , very inspiring love your work Alrene x Thank you 😊

This was wonderful and helpful. Thankyou
I have nevereverever had color taught this way. My head is kind of exploding with amazement and a little annoyance at art school.
Sounds Great...gotta squoogee too!
Awesome!
Thank you!
This was great. Thanks
How do u avoid it going muddy?
I am new here. So far in love with all your videos. Thank you handsome ❤
Thank you Nick I signed up I want to learn about colors.
Nice.
I just realized this was an old video and I tried going back to find your sequel to working with stencils done the same day at noon, but can't find it anywhere. Can you give me a title or link so I can finish this Flo? really looking forward to see how you work with stencils. Thanks.
What type of crayons are you using ??? Thanks 😊
Where do you buy Art2Life paints?
Thank you so much for sharing this, how can I see the video that you are doing at 12 pm....I know this is a year ago, but would love to watch the next video.
Which brand of acrylics does he use?
What kind of paints do you use. I’m new to your channel. Love it!
Thank you❤
What brand crayons?
😊❤️🎨
This is how I cook too…the problem is, I don’t remember how I got those colors. 😂
Thanks great. FYI, small side note: Pinot Grigio is from Burgundy in France, not Italy. I'm not a wine expert, but it sounded French, so I looked it up. You're welcome.
Question: can you tell me what you have layered on top of your palete? It looks like paper towels. By the way, when I cleaned my palette using paper towels, I noticed there was a good deal of paint on them. I used them to create my 5th background. To tone down color, I then used a very pale pastel acrylic, rolling it with a brayer. 😊
Use baking paper. Get a container put some sponges in the bottom to fit, add water too them. Then add baking paper and you have created a wet palette, keeps your paint for ages if you have a lid on the container. Cheers Chris
You illustrated The Four Agreements?
We’re you using acrylics
Do artist get art blog
