Pick 2 Pieces of Paper.
Choose your pieces of project paper. You want at least 2 pieces of paper You may use more than two pieces of paper if you would like! When using two surfaces for one artwork, this is called a “diptych.” They can be the same color or different.Lay Out Paper.
Lay the project papers next to each other so that they are touching, like an open book. They can be horizontal or vertical, but they must be touching. Refer to the video lesson guidance!1st Color.
This can be a painting or a drawing-whichever you prefer. Choose a color. Add blotches or marks of that color in various spots across all of your project papers. You can have this color overlap between the pages. This does not have to look like anything real- This is Abstract Expressionism!2nd and 3rd Colors.
Repeat that process with a 2nd and 3rd color. Get creative and wild with your marks across the papers!Details.
Add little detail marks on the papers. You can use the same 3 colors you have used already, or use new colors. You want to fill the space of your diptych making the background project papers disappear from your color!
