  • In this video, I guide you through the creation of an abstract organic piece using acrylic inks. Working primarily with shades of blue and brown, I demonstrate how the inks blend to form captivating patterns on the canvas. Adding depth with bold strokes in deep brown and accents of pastels and gold, I showcase the process of layering and texture manipulation to achieve a visually striking composition. Join me as I explore the fluidity of acrylic inks and the transformative potential of color in abstract art.

    I'm watching this from my brother's house where I have been staying while waiting for the power to come back on at my house. He doesn't have power either but has generators and lots of fans!Hurricane Beryl came through on Monday and knocked electricity out to a large area of Houston. I loved watching you create these two pieces. Makes me wish I had some of my art supplies on hand.

      I saw how destructive that hurricane has been. They say it is a bad sign to have one that bad so early and it is going to be an extra active season. I pray that it ends up not as bad as they say. That was lucky your brother had the generators!! Glad you guys are ok! 🤗 🤗 🤗

    I just recently came across your channel and subbed. I have a little studio set up in my home that I haven't used in over 3 years and for some reason the more time passed the easier it was to procrastinate. Watching your videos really inspired me to just get in there, play and experiment instead of thinking I need to have a particular piece in mind. I'm having so much fun so thank you for your beautiful lessons!!!

    I love how the gold was the finishing accent that brought both these pieces together, the blending of coll and warm colours worked so well,The pop of te dark pastels works so well too. I love the chinese brushes they just encourage you to use them in more unusual ways and they do create amzing marks and shapes. I think acrylic inks are really underatted as a medium,they have a real vibrancy. I am going to have to oddr the Amsterdam turquoise ink,that's a stiunning colour. Sepia is a colour I always have on and it's such a verstaule colour. It can be hard to not add gold to everything!!! But the gold mica paste has a shimmer and shine like no other gold and always lifts anything it's applied too. (matt) P.s I hve placed my order for the Mungyo soft pastels. I love the Mungo oil pastels, such great quality but at a really affordable price,so pigmented,can see both types of these pastels becoming a staple inmy work for sure.
