Painting abstractly and working with a partner both require taking a leap of faith. In the years that Pam Garrison and Jennifer Mercede have been collaborating, they’ve learned when to take that leap and when a subtler approach is necessary. Explore making multi-media abstract art with gentle prompts from Pam and Jen, who switch off regularly in this daily painting challenge. Whether you have a partner to paint with or are working by yourself, they encourage losing preciousness, experimenting, playing and growing. You’ll begin by working on up to four canvases. After you’ve spent weeks adding and removing layers, playing with different mark-making techniques and honing in on a color palette, you’ll spend the final days refining your style and will finish with two completed paintings.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2-4 canvases or boards
Acrylic paint
Acrylic paint markers
Ballpoint pen
Paintbrushes in small, medium and large
Paint scraper, gift card or hotel key
Rubber brayer
Wooden skewer or toothpick
Palette knife or paint scraper
Colored pencils
Painters tape or washi tape
Gel medium or glue
Color mists, ink spray or spray paint
Stencils
Rubber stamps and ink pad or paint pen
Dry brush or toothbrush
Paper scraps
