During the first intuitive art tutorial, I use tissue paper and a limited acrylic palette-magenta, titanium white, and Naples yellow-to revive a piece with fascinating texture created by a paper towel fixed onto the surface with gel medium. Abstract painting is full of surprises, and here, those hidden textures play a starring role.
Why hold onto failed art? For one, they’re playgrounds for experimentation. Reworking these pieces lets you test new ideas without the pressure of a blank canvas. Plus, they’re perfect for collage work! Cut them into smaller elements for mixed media projects or new compositions. Abstract painting always surprises me with its layers of depth and texture, especially when acrylic techniques bring out hidden gems.
Failed art also offers great learning opportunities. Every painting demo, even the so-called failures, teaches you something new about color, composition, or tools. Plus, they’re a constant source of inspiration for abstract art tutorial intuitive painting sessions.
And don’t forget-there’s history in these layers. Painting over older work adds incredible texture and depth to new creations. In this video, I’ll show how every “failed” piece is another step forward in your creative process, sparking ideas and keeping you inspired. Dive into the transformative world of abstract art tutorial intuitive painting with me and find new reasons to love your artistic “mistakes”!
And remember, keep on painting!

What kind of tape do you use around the edges? Thanks.
Hey B G! It's pretty basic painters tape - amzn.to/40WkboI
The most important thing in art; knowing when to stop.
Striking that balance makes all the difference.
I'm a beginner and my "ego" has some serious cracks in it today. Trying too many "techniques" is producing some "throw everything at the paper and see what sticks" moments. I appreciate your cohesive tutorial. I subscribed and can now see the forest.
Thanks so much and welcome! It happens to us all. Keep painting, you'll get there!
When you put down the mostly large black pieces are you purposely putting them in those spots? Is there a particular aim/goal for where the pieces go or is it just random?
Hey JC! For the most part I try not to have too many dark pieces clumped together, but otherwise it's pretty random.
That’s really cool Chris! Love the action!
Hey Susie! Thank you so much!
@ Hope all is well for you Chris, and Happy Thanksgiving!
@SusannaRossoWolf All is well here, busy, but well. How are you and Kurt doing? Happy Thanksgiving to you both as well!
Loved this loved watching this, Chris! ❤
Hey, Jackie! Thanks so much 😊 Funny, I just finished watching one of your videos on grid journaling about an hour ago. Loved it!
Debbi here~. Thanks for the words of inspiration. I have a closet full of duds.
Ha-we're in the same boat, Debbi! Seems like some weeks the pile gets smaller and some weeks it gets bigger.
Hi Chris, I see how you worked your self back to your usual style and shapes! I do the same. The best part is when you are just having fun! I struggle with this too. Going completely wild and leaving and coming back was the most fun. Give it a try!
Hey Mary! Yeah, it's funny how we always pull back to what's comfortable. I see that with a lot on my work.
I usually like words more hidden in the art but I love the way this piece turned out. The words make a strong impact outside the art. I am thinking about making an art piece like this one to get out some of my anger, disappoint and fear related to recent events.
I’m glad you found it inspiring, JC! I think there’s a lot of power in making art that reflects your emotions.
I saw two faces, one human, one a dog profile.
I think we're seeing the same thing, Carolyn!
Fab challenge, I love the result! Thanks for sharing all around the end product!
Thanks so much, Caroline! 😊
I didn't expect the end!! But l like it, came up very nicely
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it😊
I needed this video. I know we've all been there with pieces that just didn't work out. Thanks so much Chris.
Hey, Ann! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one😊
The 3rd is a bikini bod the bigger horizontal stripes are the neck...and the legs might be amputated. That countdown lettering really covered over your beautiful work
wow that came together so well in that final minute or so. i really like the result.
Thank you so much!
Over the last year, I have been leaning into the idea of surrender and letting go of my “control”. I gave up my art years ago and I now see it was because I became way too rigid and critical of myself. I had lost the joy. Long story short, in my exploration or surrender, I’ve moved into the world of abstract art. Recently, a piece that I had originally perceived as failed, is now hanging in an art gallery in California. It’s worth it to find the good in everything, even if it is “only” a lesson. ❤
Your journey is so inspiring! It’s amazing how letting go of control can help rediscover our passion for art. Congratulations on having your piece displayed in a gallery-that’s fantastic!❤️
I always have spirits in my painting and I always look for them if you don’t have at last five spirits it’s not done yet
Love that!
You’ve only been painting since 2020 🤯💪🏻
Yeah, I decided to give painting a go after being inspired by the art I saw during First Friday Art Walks. It was something I always wanted to try and finally did.
I too, was also surprised to learn this! Go Chris!!! 🎨😎
@annsummer8260 Thanks, Ann!
Hi Chris. Another very interesting video. Thanks! What type of paper do you like to paint on?
Thanks, Lynne! I usually use 98lb (160gsm) mixed media paper or 140lb (300gsm) cold press watercolor paper. Most of my warm-up and practice paintings are done on the mixed media paper.
@@chrisloudart Thank you Chris. I always appreciate your prompt reply to questions!
I really enjoyed your videos. I have been trying my hand at abstract painting. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're enjoying them!😊 How's the abstract painting going?
@chrisloudart not a bad start. I really enjoy the process
Just subscribed! I am a texture fanatic
Welcome, Joe! Do you have any particular techniques you like for creating texture?
@chrisloudart I use a variety of objects and even make my own tools out of cardboard, etc.
@jaedo71 Nice! I love using homemade tools. 👍
The Old Masters painted over their work. Good examples for us.
Thanks, Cleo! I love seeing x-rays of old paintings that show the painting underneath. www.boijmans.nl/en/collection/in-depth/x-ray-s-from-works-in-the-collection www.artic.edu/articles/949/x-rays-peering-over-the-artist-s-shoulder
Love it
Thank you, Alexandra!😊
Very inspiring! Thanks Chris
Thanks so much, Yolande, I'm happy you enjoyed it!
I usually find that my re-working of a piece I'm not happy with turns into something I really like. It might be the textures and colors underneath, but for whatever reason, returning to old work is really a pleasure for me. I enjoyed watching your strategies and they're very effective in the end. PS: I had no idea you've only been painting since 2020; your work looks far more mature to me. Such talent.
Thank you, Gail! I couldn't agree more-some of the most enjoyable painting session that I've had were reworking older pieces. Thanks for the kind words, I'm still learning and experimenting!
Great ideas, especially relate to the freedom one has when not worried about what happens because of reusing something that wasn’t going to be framed anyway.
Thanks so much, Denise! It’s amazing how much more fun you can have playing and experimenting when you’re not tied down by expectations. That's usually when the good stuff happens.😊
Such great advice Chris! I learned the hard way about covering up paintings I got frustrated with. I used to cover them over with gesso and start again. I saw a photo on my phone of a painting I couldn’t see my way through and covered. I could have cried. Now at the least, I use them as collage.
Thanks so much, Haynes! I've done the exact same thing. Finding a picture of an old painting and trying to figure out what happened to it, only to realize its now the background for another one.
I don't throw paintings out either, I rework them or gesso over them so that its a blank canvas again. I really liked both those paintings although I did for a tiny bit think that number 2 dud was going to be another dud it came up great though. Cheers!
Thanks, Howling! Yeah, I think #2 is one that I'll keep playing with. It's better than it was, but I think I'll keep having some fun with it. Cheers!
@chrisloudart that's good and there's always more surprises to come then. Cheers!
I never throw out “failed” work, unfortunately they are piling up! Thank you, you’ve given me a kick up the **** to get some out & have a play. You’ve probably already answered this somewhere, but given all the different medium you use on a piece, do you seal them before putting up for sale? Cheers, Wendi.
Hey Wendi! I’m so glad the video gave you that push to play with your “failed” pieces-it’s amazing what can emerge from just having fun. Yes, I do seal my works, typically with a matte or satin varnish before they go up for sale. If I'm using any mediums like charcaol or something water-soluble, I'll give it a quick spray with a workable fixative, let that dry and then varnish-that way nothing smears when I apply the varnish.
Thanks Chris, thats most helpful. Love your work & videos. W.
Thanks so much, Wendi!
I’d like to see more monotone work. Thank you Chris.
Hey Janet! I'll add more to my list.
Wow thank you !!!!!🎉❤
I'm so glad you like them, Julianna.😊
Thanks Chris, I have thrown out so many canvas. Right now I have one going that looks like a big blob or a potato. Not sure how to change it especially when you are not supposed to use your brain. It is hard to just use your instinct and let go. This is why I love watching you. You always make it work, even after it is a dud lol!!!!!
It's definitely not an easy thing to just let go-I have to remind myself to get out of my own way quite often. I know you're going to turn that potato into something special! 😊 You got this, Janice!
Really love the warmth of the oranges and yellows. It glows! Love the figure that showed up. So much to see and explore in it and so many stories to tell!
Thanks so much, Tracy! This was quite fun to play with.
