Abstract Acrylic Painting Techniques Using a Catalyst Wedge

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 27 бер 2021
  • This is a time-lapsed abstract acrylic painting demonstration on canvas. This is how I use fluid acrylics and a catalyst wedge to create movement and build layers. This is NOT a "How to Paint an Abstract Painting" video, but hopefully will give you inspiration and ideas for your own DIY abstract painting.
    Adjust the settings on the video to watch a slower version and to gain a better understanding of my technique.
    Tools:
    Soft Body Acrylics from ‪@LiquitexOfficial‬
    Free style flat brushes
    Silicone catalyst wedge (W-06) from @Princeton Art & Brush Co Inc
    Colours Used:
    Prussian Blue Hue
    Phthalo Turquoise
    Quinacridone Magenta
    Green Gold
    Titanium White
    Carbon Black

    What great technology! I am completely amazed by the excitingly beautiful color nuances that working with this silicone catalyst wedge produces! This makes me want to try out a new technique again. The colors you pour onto the canvas will look beautifully saturated and not watery. If you have the normal tube colors from well-known manufacturers, how can you mix such beautiful colors for this technique? I can't see for sure, but are there drying times between new coats of paint? I would be very grateful for a tip.

    Absolutely stunning, your creativity is beautiful and the color combo I cant stop looking at it, I think you did an amazing job. But I do have to agree with a comment that someone made, that it would have been nice to here you describe how you do things so you go and how you came up with your color selection. Alot of people make theese speed viedos, and I feel if you take your time to watch a painting tutorial it's because you are instred in learning, speed painting is not fun to watch because you get no knowledge out of them at all. But well done, maybe I will learn how to make one of my own someday. Thank you.

      It depends on the layer - I would say the first half of the painting is always wet and the last layers are dry

  • @NancyFoxTV
    @NancyFoxTV 3 роки тому +2

    Court, at 2:29 you applied a thin coat of white over the aubergine and it didn't get smushed together- the white became a film over the aubergine. Is that because the aubergine was a bit dry by then?
    When I try to apply the light cover over dark with the wedge they blend together and now it's no longer a layer but mush. How do you keep the light colors over the dark from merging together but remaining distinct and layered? This has been my biggest problem. If I wait and let the colors underneath dry, I can do it.
    Your advice? thanks

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  3 роки тому +2

      When using white - the layers do need to be dry underneath unless your looking for a blending effect. In this case the layers were dry :)
