Abstract Acrylic Painting Techniques Using a Catalyst Wedge

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 :)
