In this challenge, you will have just 15 minutes to create a captivating composition using only black, white, and one color of your choice. Whether you prefer acrylic paint, pencils, charcoal, or pastels, the choice is yours. Remember, the goal is to create an engaging yet simple composition that truly speaks to your artistic style.
To kickstart this art prompt, I will demonstrate how to approach this challenge by showcasing my own painting exercise. For this example, I decided to use Titanium white, Mars black, and Yellow Ochre in acrylic paint. Through this demonstration, you'll see how I utilize these limited colors to create a quick abstract painting where I focus on a simple composition.
As the timer begins, I'll guide you step-by-step through my thought process, sharing my thoughts along the way.
Remember, this isn't just about the end result; it's about the journey of self-expression and discovery. Embrace the freedom and spontaneity that abstract art offers, allowing your intuition to guide your brush.
So, are you up for the challenge? Grab your art supplies, set the timer, and let's dive into this thrilling abstract painting exercise together. Get ready to unleash your imagination and create a stunning composition that truly captures the essence of abstract art.

Love!!!
Thank you!😊
Love the challenges!
I'm so glad you like them, Caryn!❤️
Love , love, love the challenges! Keep them coming. 👩🏻🎨
When we work within a limited palette and time, our left brain has less time to critique our work and we can’t get too attached to any particular detail. The struggle is real when there are too many choices and too much time to think critically, so this challenge was fun and surprisingly productive!
I definitely will! You hit the nail on the head-sometimes too many choices and too much thinking really hinders our creative flow. I have a new challenge video posting on Saturday that speaks to that a bit. Thank you for your feedback!
@@chrisloudart great! Looking forward to it!
Composition! I watch a lot of abstract painting videos. Of those, most are focused on being intuitively expressive. But few take the time to truly consider composition. Many are just built upon layers of paint (which horrifies me as I consider it a waste of paint.) I will do the challenge and edit this post when I do. I, too, will slow down to observe the development and be a bit more selective instead of slinging paint. This is my favorite video of yours to date.
Hey Pat! We are on the same brain waves. I just jotted down in my notebook to do a few more composition based videos. So glad that this video resonated with you. I'm excited to hear how the challenge goes. Cheers!
I like it. I also use cardboard and love the effect.
Thanks, D!
Yes Chris, more prompts please. Loved this one, so simple yet so interesting.
Thanks, Malcolm! Will do.

I am like your warm up challenge groupie - 😂 love this one. Going to do it now
Haha, I think we may have come up with a new kind of groupie! Love it!
This is fun. I will try this. Thanks for the idea.
I am the one who recommended the yellow Frog Tape and have been meaning to get back to you about it. I paint on wood and have just recently done some sketchbook paintings using the yellow tape. I have had some instances of paper peeling, but only one of paint tearing, and I blame myself for not being careful. I have found that if I do not fully adhere the tape to the sketchbook paper the tape is more likely to pull up some paper. To prevent this, I will pull the tape off with a 45 degree angle (angled away) from the painting, holding the paper down with my other hand just behind the angled tape. I just wanted to let you know, as after painting on paper I was a little chagrined to find a bit of paper tearing. I still love the yellow Frog Tape, as it has not (except for that once) torn any paint.
Thanks again for sharing. I appreciate it.
Thanks, Sybil! I think all tapes have the potential to tear paper, so no worries. I have a hair dryer in my studio and usually turn that on any tape I'm using when I peel it. No tears that way. But yellow tape is still the easiest to pull that I've used. Thanks for the feedback and tips!
@@chrisloudart Well, that's embarrassing. I can't believe I hadn't thought of using my dryer. Thanks for the tip.
Dots transformed it, i think🎉
Thanks!
I’m just starting to paint abstracts! It seems that it is a different way to look at art! I’m trying to retrain my brain to look at objects, etc. differently!
You hit the nail on the head! It really is about looking at things differently. I started by finding shapes in everyday scenes and then playing with those.
Great video
Thank you!
I really like this piece!
Thank you, Janis!
More prompts please! They're fun. Love it
Hey, Becky! Will do, thanks.
I loved watching you do this and I keen to give it A go. Great warm up idea or play when you don’t want to do anything else.
Thanks, Jen! Let me know how it goes.😊
Just saw your video yesterday😄. Great challenge to do!! I loved it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much!😊
More challenges!!! Yes Please!!!!
Will do! Thanks, Cid 😊
❤❤❤❤
Merci, Martine!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Excited to try!
Thanks, Rebecca! Let me know how it goes!😊
Do you ever use acrylic paint markers in your abstract painting? Thank you for sharing your talent! I’m trying to learn to paint abstract art!👍👏🧑🎨
Hey Debbie! Yes, but only recently. I've thoroughly enjoyed using them. How about you?
Like all art, painting abstracts can be frustrating at times, but the more you play with it, the more you're able to connect the dots.
I'll get to this challenge straight away. It will be fun. Thanks for the prompt.
The drops made it more interesting. I thought that a few scratches in the square would have looked interesting too. May be the brushstrokes do that already, and it doesn't show that well in the video. Thank you again for sharing, and yes more prompts would be fun.
Hey, Brigit! Let me know how it goes. Great suggestion on the scratches! I think that would have broken up the white a little and given it a little more character.😊
Hm, I think my painting turned out a little bit chaotic. Quite a nice chaos though. Certainly not simple, but hey, it was a lot of fun! 😄
Great idea, Chris, and i love the idea of a prompt, with clear parameters. It's a bit scary for someone like me who is such a colour freak, but refucing things to b w and one colour is going to be interesting. Will try at some point. Thank you. Always inspiring 😊
Thanks, Emmanuel! Let me know how it goes. It will be interesting to see what color variations you come up with using b/w & your chosen color.
Great prompt and would love more. I'm always so inspired after watching your content, so thank you! I will definitely try this first thing once I get into the studio today!
Thanks, Kathy! I'm so glad to hear that! Let me know how it goes 🙂
Good challenge, Chris. Will be trying out a group of these, using a different comp./colour in each. I particularly liked the way you almost (not quite) broke through the black square with a band of white. Wondering how it would feel if it had made it " ? Nice one.
Thanks, Ann! Oh, I thought about breaking through, glad I didn't, but it was close. Let me know how this one goes for you.
Favourites are 2nd and 4th orientation🤔
Honestly, I can't decide which orientation to go with. Thanks for your input!😊
I love this, and I love the challenge. As a novice in abstracts, I have a question. I liked those marks made with charcoal. What is the purpose behind making them and then covering them up? 🌞
Thanks, Kathleen! Great question! Typically with intuitive paintings, I typically start off with some marks. It's a way for me to start playing right away and see if the marks give me any direction as to my next step. Many times they get covered up, sometimes a few of the marks peek through at the end, and then sometimes the become a bigger part of the painting. Just one of my processes when I paint quickly. I hope that helps!😊
Hello. What tape do you use? Thsnks. Also. What paper do you use? Thanks again.
Hey Pattymelt! I'm just using basic painters tape amzn.to/4dKyYGX and this paper was 98lb paper in a mixed media sketchbook amzn.to/3V3X745. Hope that helps!😊
@@chrisloudart Thsnks!!
I would like to ask if the Windsor and Newton paint is a liquid similar to Golden liquid acrylic?
Hey Karen! Winsor & Newton is thicker than Golden liquid acrylics. To my knowledge Winsor & Newton don't have a line of liquid acrylics. I hope that helps.
