Mixed Media Mastery: Abstract Painting Techniques

  • Опубліковано 27 лис 2024
  • In today's art video, I embarked on a creative journey exploring the world of abstract painting. My color palette was inspired by the rustic hues found in old buildings, featuring dusty blues, quiet greens, vintage reds, and warm oranges. Armed with a diverse array of artistic tools, including Kuretake Gansi Tambi watercolors, acrylic paints, oil pastels, and posca pens, I delved into the magic of mixed media. Together, we crafted not one, but a pair of abstract paintings. Join me as I break down the process step by step, offering insights and inspiration for your own artistic endeavors. It's a hands-on art workshop filled with color, expression, and boundless creativity!

    Morning Denise. I know this is going to seem like a weird thing for someone to say - but I love that you USE your art materials. I am trying the break the feeling that I am "wasting" my precious materials. I watch you and Diane Anton and you aren't afraid to use your materials and try new combinations of materials. So thank you - I think I might be starting to feel a little less "precious" about my materials - and use them for what they are.

    After finding your channel and subscribing, I treated myself to Colour Cube 1. I think it is a great tool because in the past I spent an age trying to choose a colour palette for my project and now I randomly pick a card and go with the flow. It means my creative time isn't spent deliberating over colour choices. Thanks Denise.

    It’s so much fun to see which direction you decide to take when you change media. It’s like you know exactly what to do to improve the look of the piece. I’ve never tried this but I think it’s time. Also, I practically drool when I see all of your incredible art supplies, when you introduce new media that I do not own, I immediately want to have it. Is that bad? I truly enjoy your videos and listening to you as you think about what you’ll do next. Thank you for sharing your talent and excitement for art. 😊
