Mixing your painting color palette before you start can completely change the way your artwork comes together. In this studio video, I share why I like to plan my colors before painting and how it helps create color harmony, confidence, and flow from the very beginning.
This approach is especially helpful for any acrylic painters, mixed media artists, abstract artists, and intuitive painters who want their work to feel cohesive without overthinking every brushstroke. By working with a limited palette and mixing color variations ahead of time, you can stay present in the process and let the painting evolve naturally.
