Abstract Painting Demo - Part 1
Hi everyone. Today I'm going to take you through the first part of my abstract painting process, starting with moving my thumbnail sketch to my canvas... or in this case cradle board
From there I work very quickly and loosely with various pencils, charcoal, and some color to get the base set. I was so excited to work on this piece that I even started adding more paint before it was dry (oops). But that will have to wait for my next video.
How do you move your thumbnail sketches to your canvas? Let me know in the comments and, as always, if you have any questions, topics you'd like me to discuss, or anything else, please reach out. Don't forget to like and subscribe and ring the bell to be notified whenever I post a new video.
Hugs,
Gwen

Just found u on KZread and wat a beautiful energy. I’m so happy just by listening and learning and watching you be free, which is what I’m trying to learn to stop being uptight and just let go and have fun ❤thank you for this channel.
Gwen, I only watched part of the segment on the abstract. I enjoyed it and can't wait to dive into my own.
Looking forward to next video Gwen
Your lines remind me of asemic writing. I enjoyed this Now following.
I love,love your enthusiasm ❤
Thanks for sharing your process!
I love your enthusiasm!
bonjour Gwen, merci for your passion and enthousiasme
Love this and all your videos!!
Oh Gwen, I just love your infectious approach. You manage to combine making art feel loose and fun but still guiding us on structuring as we go. I love your thumbnail sketch start and then the loose abandoned marks. I can’t wait for the next part. Thank you so much for all of your videos here x

Sergio....thank you so much for your comment as I really enjoyed sharing the video and how I go from chaos to calm in the painting....at least that is coming. Again, thank you.
Hi Gwen, I’m so happy to find you. I’m an absolute beginner with abstract oils. Some guidance on mediums to get layers to dry and not muddy colors on top would be so helpful. I know this is very entry level, but it’s the thing that I’m having the most issue with in my painting.
Awesome video Gwen. Thank you. Cant’s wait to see the next video! 😊
Extremely grateful that you share your process with us.. ...Excited to see what's next!

Hi Gwen, Fun to watch. Anxious to see the finish. I would like to know more about the painting on the floor with the face on it down to your right?
I’m struggling getting started but I appreciated your stash of shapes and collage papers so I am going to start just to create my own stash and see if I can come out the other side with some ideas.
Love it
I love your videos. Can't wait to see where the journey takes this one!

Shirley...you just made my day with your comment....thank you!!!!!
Your enthusiasm is inspiring. I'm a maker/upholsterer/coach, etc. I was searching KZread for anything that would show me how to create abstract art. I'm going to paint the front of my shop here in Indianapolis and I want to do abstracts of the tools I use. Your vids were helpful. Love Taos, love Santa Fe. Goal is to move that direction.

Love your videos, Gwen. You are a fabulous teacher. When you said you were paint with oil, is that oil and cold wax? Thank you, Gwen ❤️🎨❤️
Hi Gwen,That’s such a great fun video.I am working hard to free up my art and I just know your videos are going to help me.I was an illustrator for my working life so after years of tight art I am loving freeing up.Looking forward to your next video.

Oh Wendy....I am so happy to hear these videos are helping you.
Nice start! Is video 2 ready? Also, can you substitute acrylics?
What did you use to seal the charcoals? You are fun to watch, very helpful? I have been trying to find a way to start a paintig without actually starting a painting. Thirty-five years ago when I first started painting I could afford to just start throwing paint on cavvass, but today with the insane costs of supplies I am trying to learn how to plan my work out a bit betterso to save money. I have three larger canvases 48, 57 and 60 by 96. I really dont want to gesso up my early attemps on them, so what you are showing here has been super helpful.
Thank you!!!😅

You are so welcome Michele,....
Hi Gwen. Thanks for your tutorials! They are awesome. Did you use here oil plus cold wax or just oil paint? Thanks!
I absolutely love your work and you are the best teacher ever!! Btw what kind of squeegee are you using?
@GwenFoxArtist

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. The squeegee I am using is from the coldwaxacademy.com/squeegees/. It is a special squeegee that I love. I think they cost under 15 dollars. If you get one let me know how you like it.
Great video! Thank you.

Use a blow dryer it helps dry quickly 👍🥰
What do you spray over the charcoal?
@gwenfox Do you use oil sticks (r/f/shiva/oil pastel) or oil in tube and place it on your board then use the squeegee? What do you use to spread your paint gasoline or walnut oil and is it on the side where you can dip your brush or run your squeegee through it.

Gloria....actually no different as you would only use acrylic instead of oils....water instead of Gamsol. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Thank you so much for your comment.
What should I use instead of the Gamsol if I am going to use acrylics instead of oils? Love you videos.

Did you use turpentine?
