In this video, I go over five abstract painting prompts that can help reinvigorate your daily warm-ups and inspire ideas for future paintings. First, I dive into the lush theme of the first art prompt "Rainforest Canopy" as a part of an intuitive abstract painting session. I share with you not just the guidelines, but also a demo where I tackle this art challenge head-on, with acrylic paints and the spirit of exploration.
Why are daily warm-up paintings so beneficial? Primarily they're about playful experimentation before the "serious" art - a chance to ask "What if?" and to just have fun. It's not about creating a masterpiece every time; it's about letting loose, sharpening skills, and maybe even stumbling upon new techniques and painting ideas that could inspire future artwork.

In this casual and totally informal session, I’ll show you how I reinvigorate my practice with abstract painting prompts. We'll play with different textures, the color pairings I’m working with, and see what happens when we let intuition guide our brushstrokes.
By the end of the video, after you've seen how I approach the "Rainforest Canopy" with acrylic painting, you'll have four more specific prompts to spark your artistic fire. Each art exercise is designed to help you loosen up and enjoy the mindfulness that comes with intuitive abstract painting. And remember, it's okay to let go of the ones that don’t pan out; celebrate the wins, learn from the rest, and keep on creating.
So, grab your paints, and let's reinvigorate our practice together. The goal here is to rekindle that joy in creation, to embrace the art exercises as a way to warm up, and to transform the blank surface into something that's uniquely yours. Let's get those creative juices flowing with these intuitive painting prompts and make our daily warm-up paintings something to look forward to.
And remember, keep on painting!
